BEVA Congress Abstracts deadline approaching
Research Abstracts must be in soon

The Scientific Programme Committee of the 2012 BEVA Congress has invited authors to submit scientific abstracts for inclusion in the Clinical Research sessions (“Free Communications”) at this year's Congress. To be in with a chance of presenting your clinical research abstract at BEVA Congress 2012, all abstracts need to be submitted to the BEVA Office by Thursday 1st March 2012.

Papers relating to recent research into any aspect of clinical equine medicine, surgery and reproduction will be considered. Submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the Congress Committee, and those authors whose abstracts are accepted will be invited to present the abstracts at Congress, as a 12 minute oral presentation. The submission of an abstract implies the author’s willingness to present the abstract at Congress.

The presenter of each accepted abstract will receive free registration at Congress for the day of his/her presentation. However, travel, subsistence and accommodation expenses will not be offered. Presenters are, of course, very welcome to register separately for other days of Congress.

More information is available at the relevant section of the BEVA website.
