The deadline for submitting a paper for the World Congress has now past.  IBIA received over 650 abstracts for the Congress, a new record. The grading process has begun and submitters will be notified of the scientific committees decisions in due course.  All abstracts accepted for the Congress on Brain Injury will be published in a supplemental issue of the journal Brain Injury.

Abstracts will be reviewed by the Congress’s International Scientific Committee, which will determine the most appropriate presentation format (oral presentation or poster) for each abstract accepted. Submissions should ideally be data based and if not must be an assessment or treatment model description. We encourage proposals in the areas of basic science (particularly translational research) through the entire continuum of brain injury care (both pediatric and adult). The format for abstracts is pre-defined by our submission system, with text boxes for Introduction/Objectives, Materials/Method, Results, and Conclusions.
