Call for Contributions Closed – Review and Scheduling Updates

The deadline for submitting contributed talks and poster presentations has now passed. We would like to thank everyone who submitted their work to ECMTB 2026. The scientific committee is currently busy reviewing the large number of submissions we have received.

Here are a few updates on what comes next:

Contributed talks and posters: Acceptance notices will be sent out on a rolling basis. The first notifications are expected to go out starting next week, i.e. from 30 March 2026 onwards.

Minisymposia: Minisymposium organisers have received instructions on how to submit the metadata for the talks in their sessions. If you are a minisymposium organiser and have not received these instructions, please contact us at support@ecmtb2026.org.

Programme planning: Our programme team is currently working on an intermediate schedule. Minisymposium organisers will be the first to see this version. We expect to publish a public draft of the schedule once all acceptance notices have been sent out — around mid to end of April.

Travel and accommodation: If you are planning to attend ECMTB 2026, now is also a good time to start thinking about your travel arrangements and hotel booking. We have partnered with Graz Tourism to offer a limited number of hotel rooms at special rates for conference participants. You can find the booking page here.

We will continue to share updates here as the review and scheduling process moves forward.
