Digital Abstracts and Posters

We’re working to reduce the environmental impact of our conferences, which is why we’re providing as much information as we can digitally. Please note that we are no longer providing notebooks at our conferences. 

The pocket programme you’ll receive contains the scientific programme and an index of poster titles. All the speaker and poster abstracts, as well as optional digital posters, are available in our searchable Digital Abstracts and Posters area (available from Friday 13 March 2026).

We aim to recycle as many badges as possible and so it would be really helpful if you could hand yours to the EACR staff after use.
