Call for Abstracts

Poster and Short Talk Presentation GuidelinesAbstract Submission Guidelines

Abstract submission for the 22nd CIMT Annual Meeting will open in January 2025.Participation in the conference is mandatory for all abstract presenters.
To submit an abstract, presenters must first register for the CIMT Annual Meeting. Once registered, you will receive a unique conference registration number. This number is required for the online abstract submission. Abstract submissions cannot be completed without prior conference registration and the associated registration number.

Abstracts will undergo a blind peer-review process, with the top 10% chosen for short talk presentations.
________________________________________________________________________________

Abstracts will be rejected if they fall outside the scope of the meeting (e.g., not related to cancer immunology or immunotherapy), if they are purely commercial in nature, or if they clearly violate scientific standards.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION CATEGORIES

Improving Immunity:

This session is for everyone whose research is focused on inspiring, new strategies to enhance anti-tumor immune responses.
Immunomonitoring:
Tracking and characterizing immune responses is crucial to understanding how immune cells and tumors react to therapeutic interventions. Present your insights in this session.
New Targets & New Leads:
Present your poster in this session if you report on an exciting new target structure, or if you work on the development of innovative lead structures or therapeutic platforms.
Cellular Therapies:

From T-cell receptor therapy to chimeric antigen receptors – this session is all about cellular therapies, and not only restricted to T cells.
Tumor Biology & Interaction with the Immune System:
Choose this session if your aim is to unravel the complexity of the tumor microenvironment and to improve our understanding of the interaction between tumor and immune cells.
Novel Tools & Technologies:
Have you developed a new tool or technology, be it related to multiplexed imaging or single-cell transcriptomics? In this session, you can present the technology as well as the insights it enables.


PRESENTING YOUR WORK

All accepted abstracts are presented as posters. Through a blind evaluation by our abstract review committee members, highly-rated abstract submissions are additionally selected for short talk presentation.

Poster Awards for early-career researchers are determined by a dedicated prize committee who actively engage with the poster exhibits. Prize winners are honored during the conference, highlighting their research on an international stage.
