  14. Should you wish to make corrections to an absract already submitted or if you wish to submit other abstracts later, you may use your personal access codes.

Please note that after final submission the content of your abstract cannot be modified or corrected and that it will be published exactly as submitted.
  15. If an abstract is accepted, one author must attend the congress and present it in person. Acceptance of the abstract implies payment of the registration fee by the presenting author. If a presenting author does not register to the congress or does not attend the session for which (s)he has been scheduled, a penalty may incur, prohibiting the author from presenting papers at future EAN Congresses for a period of 3 years.
  16. If your research has been granted any commercial or institutional support, you will be asked to disclose this during the submission process. Please prepare a one-sentence statement for this purpose.
