Abstract Submission Form | First Neonatology Conference

CALL FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

Abstract submission is now open for the 1st NeoMeMo Congress. Abstract submission deadline: October 30, 2026. Researchers, neonatologists, and pediatric clinicians are invited to submit original research and clinical case reports. Review papers will not be accepted. Accepted abstracts will be published online in an abstract book.

The primary submission guidelines dictate an online-only submission process written exclusively in clear English. At least one author per accepted abstract must complete his/her registration to be formally included in the final scientific program. Abstracts will only be displayed on-site as E-Posters at a digital poster station and will be available for electronic viewing for participants at all times.

Key Scientific Areas

Submissions should align with the core focus areas of advanced neonatal care:

• Neonatal Intensive Care: Respiratory support, surfactant therapy, lung ultrasound and hemodynamics.
• Neuro-Neonatology: Neonatal encephalopathy, CNS ultrasound, seizure management, and neuroprotection.
• Nutrition & Metabolism: Parenteral-enteral nutrition guidelines, gut microbiome, and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
• Perinatology & Maternal-Fetal Health: Management of high-risk pregnancies, placental health, and fetal programming.
• Neonatal Nursing & Quality Improvement: Delivery room stabilization, family-centered care, reducing NICU infections.

Structural Submission Instructions

Abstracts must be formatted cleanly to pass peer review and fit automated indexing software:

• Word Count Limits: Maximum 250 for the abstract body.
• Title Requirements: Must be brief, capitalized, and clearly reflect the core focus of the study. Do not use abbreviations in the title.
• Author Details: Include full names, institutional affiliations marked using superscript numeric numbers and the primary email for the designated presenting author.
• Mandatory Subheadings: Format the abstract body using the structural framework below:
• Background/Aim: Statement of the clinical problem and purpose of the study.
• Material & Methods: Study design, patient cohort criteria, and methods used.
• Results: Main findings backed by objective numerical values (i.e. p-values, confidence intervals).
• Conclusions: Clinical relevance and future steps for neonatal care.
• One table, one figure/photo
• Each speaker may submit/present up to two papers

Technical Specifications

• File Format: A single-page document saved strictly as a PDF file in landscape orientation.
• Orientation: Please create your document in PowerPoint in landscape layout 16×9 and save it as a PDF file
• File Size: Keep your final PDF under 5 MB to avoid upload errors.
• Images and Tables resolution: at least 200 dpi. Good picture quality is essential.

Content Structure & Layout Rules

• All E-Posters should be prepared in English
• Header Essentials: Place the affiliated hospital or university logo in the upper-left corner. Include author names and marked affiliations using superscript numeric numbers.
• Keep word count under 750 to 800 words
• Follow a logical, structured organization matching your submitted abstract. Organize content across 3 to 4 uniform columns containing explicit headings: Background/Aim, Materials & Methods, Results, Conclusions


Visual & Typography Guidelines

• Font Selection: Stick to clean, cross-platform sans-serif fonts such as Arial, Calibri, Verdana, or Helvetica. Do not mix more than two font families.
• Font Sizing: If designing at a standard slide scale, body text must not fall below 11–14 points. If designing at true 1:1 display scale, maintain a minimum body font of 24–28 points so text reads perfectly from 1 to 1.5 meters away.
• Color Contrast: Use high-contrast color choices like a clean, light background (white, light gray) paired with dark text (navy blue, black). Avoid neon layouts or overly busy backdrops.
• Hyperlinks, animated images, animations and embedded videos are not permitted
• When inserting images, photos, tables, etc., use copy-paste. Do not use embedded documents.
• Avoid overlapping objects and layers. Only the final view/status will be visible
• When saving your PDF please do not use symbols or special characters (ie. +/@/ü) in the file name
