BSH YoungEHA Research Meeting 2027 Abstract Submission Guidelines
The YoungEHA is a symposium running on Saturday, in parallel with “Pitfalls in Haematology” and “Haematology Essentials” preceding the welcome, networking reception and the official start of BSH Conference on Sunday.
This is a special meeting focusing on basic and translational research in Haematology with the aim of promoting the work of early career researchers. We particularly welcome abstracts submitted or presented by PhD students, postdocs and early career researchers who have not yet reached independence and that are not running their own labs. Among the submitted abstracts, priority for selection for oral presentation will be given to those focusing on basic research, but we will welcome presentations of posters on case studies.
Topics
Abstracts are welcome in any one of the following categories:
- Non-malignant haematology
- Stem cells and microenvironment
- Haemato-immunology
- Haemato-oncology
Presentation Type
An abstract can be submitted for presentation at the Conference as one of the following categories:
- YoungEHA Oral or Poster Presentation
- YoungEHA Poster Presentation
At the review stage, the Programme Committee may change the presentation type submitted by the author to ensure the continuity of the conference programme i.e. oral presentation may be changed to poster presentation OR poster presentation to oral presentation. The presenting Author will be informed of any change to their submitted presentation type at the acceptance notification stage. The decision of the programme committee is final.
Oral presenters will be advised of presentation date and length of presentation once the abstract has been accepted.
Accepted posters will be asked to produce a poster for display at the conference and be available for discussion during the corresponding poster viewing session. Presenters are asked to take note of the following guidelines when producing their poster:
- Maximum poster size is A0 (0.84 x 1.19m) (portrait orientation)

- Ensure any text is in large font
