On behalf of the ISPN 2026 Scientific Committee, we are inviting you to submit your scientific work to be presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting in Cairo, Egypt. We have an online abstract submission and evaluation process. Please take a moment to read the below guideline.
All abstracts must be submitted online through the abstract submission system. Abstracts that are sent via e-mail or fax will not be included in the abstract assessment process by the Scientific Committee.
Abstract submission deadline
May 4, 2026, 23:59 (GMT+2)
Abstract Submission Guidelines
- All abstracts must be submitted in English.
- Multiple abstracts from an institution are welcome.
- The presenting author assumes full responsibility for the contents of the abstract and must ensure that all other authors have approved the abstract before submission.
- The presenting author will be required to register for the meeting by June 19, 2026 in order to have acceptance of the abstract confirmed and included in the scientific program and submitted for publication in the CNS journal's proceedings (valid only for oral platform and oral flash abstracts).
- Please do not submit the same abstract with different presenting authors. Non-compliant applications will be disregarded by the Nursing Committee.
Abstract Preparation and Submission on the System
Accepted abstracts will be scored by the Nursing Committee and those accepted for oral presentation are published in the society's official journal Childs' Nervous System. Oral poster presentations will be listed with a title and presenter in the Childs' Nervous System journal. As there will be no editing of the abstracts prior to scoring, authors are required to avoid typing errors, misordering of names, incorrect spelling etc. as these create a negative impression for reviewers.
STEP 1- Abstract Title, Type, Topic & Presentation Preference
- Abstract Title: Abstract title can contain a maximum of 250 characters.
- Topic: Please select "Nursing Symposium" as a topic.
- Presentation type: Please select "Nursing Symposium". All submitted abstracts will be considered to be presented as oral presentation.
STEP 2 – Authors
- Enter following authors details:
- Full first and family name(s)
- Email address
- Affiliation details: department, institution / hospital, city state (if relevant), Country
- Phone number
- Indicate the presenting author.
- It’s highly important for you to ensure that the e-mail address of presenting author is entered correctly, as all communication regarding the acceptance, any required adjustments, and scheduling will be sent to the presenting author via e-mail by the Meeting Organizing Secretariat.
- The presenting author will be required to register for the Conference in order to confirm acceptance of the abstract.
STEP 3 - 6 – Abstract
- Abstract body should not exceed 300 words. The title of the abstract, authors' names, institutions and key words are not included in this limit.
The abstract should have four sections:

STEP 7 – Keywords

STEP 8 – Images & tables
- Images, tables, diagrams and graphs are allowed for the abstracts; however, they will not be published in the CNS Journal.
STEP 10-11 – Declarations & Disclose

STEP 12 – Preview & Submit
- Click on the SUBMIT button at the end of the process in order to submit your abstract. You may log in to the system later to make changes to your abstract, up to the submission deadline. After the deadline, changes will not be possible; this includes changing or adding co-authors.

- Please contact us if you have not received confirmation that your abstract has been submitted at the Meeting Organizing Secretariat at (mrodic@kenes.com).
- Please do not submit multiple copies of the same abstract.
Evaluation Process and Acceptance Letters
All submitted abstracts will be scored by at least 3 members of the Nursing Committee following which the draft program will be drawn up. While scientific merit is the most important factor in evaluating an abstract, the program will also take into account other factors such as the topic, geographic representation etc.
Presentations will be accepted as either virtual or in person.
Acceptance letters will be sent via e-mail by the beginning of June 2026.
The abstract presenting author must be registered for the meeting by June 19, 2026.
Abstracts submitted by presenting authors who do not register for the meeting and pay the registration fee by this deadline will be removed from the final program and will not be published in the Childs’ Nervous System journal.
Thank you for submitting your work for consideration.
We are looking forward to meeting you for what promises to be a fabulous meeting in Cairo!
Please contact us directly should you have any specific enquiries.
