Invitation to submit abstracts

COST Action European Sexual Medicine Network (ESMN) is an international network of medical researchers and practitioners, social scientists, educators, and social service professionals involved with sexual health and medicine. ESMN is organizing a symposium “Sexuality in Europe” on October 22 and 23, 2021, in Salzburg, Austria.

All ESMN members and supporters are encouraged to contribute to the symposium through submissions of abstracts presenting original research, reports from or about COST member countries, opinions and ideas concerning sexual healthcare and sexual medicine in Europe, and contributions regarding education and training in sexual medicine.

As the official language of the conference is English, abstracts are preferably submitted in English, but abstracts in French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese will also be accepted. Abstracts should be no more than 500 words.

All accepted abstracts will be published on the ESMN website and selected contributions will be presented at the Symposium and published in the proceedings of the meeting. We will also accept abstracts for posters which will be displayed at the meeting and on the ESMN website. Two awards for best oral presentation and poster will be made to early career investigators kindly sponsored by Pfizer.

The format for the abstract can be found below and submitted via E-Mail (info@esmn-cost.eu). The closing date for submissions is the 8th September 2021.
