  • relevant to the field of pharmacoepidemiology as broadly defined
  • results have not been published (except in abstract form) either on-line or in printed full form before January 1 of the year of the meeting, and
  • results have not been presented at a previous ISPE meeting.
Presentation types

Oral presentation:

Presenting in-person at the University of Tokyo, Japan.

 

Poster presentation: 

Presenting in-person at the University of Tokyo, Japan. In-person presenters will print an A0 (1189 mm high x 841 mm wide) size poster to display in the poster gallery and must be in attendance at their poster at a specific time to discuss with interested attendees. 

 

Spotlight Posters: 

A number of notable posters will be pre-selected for the Spotlight Poster Session.

The newcomer track is a special track designed for early-career researchers and students who are new to the field of pharmacoepidemiology.

This track provides an opportunity for newcomers to present their research and to receive feedback from more experienced researchers in the field. Eligible individuals can submit an abstract of original research related to pharmacoepidemiology, and if accepted, will present their work as an oral / poster presentation during the conference.

The aim is to provide a platform for newcomers to showcase their work, gain experience in presenting their research, and receive feedback from experienced researchers in the field.

Newcomer abstract submission deadline: Wednesday 1 May 2024
Notification of reviewer’s comments and suggestions: Wednesday 22 May 2024
