Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. Confirm that the work concerns human or medical genetics or genomics.
  2. Ensure the abstract presents results with clear methods, cohort description and analysis.
  3. Address data protection and consent considerations relevant to genetic data.
  4. Check abstract categories, format and presentation options on the official ESHG abstracts page.
  5. Prepare a complete, co-author-approved abstract before 4 February 2027.

Why This Conference Matters

Genetics and genomics are increasingly embedded in clinical care, from diagnosing rare diseases to guiding cancer treatment, while research continues to clarify how genetic variation shapes health. The ESHG conference brings together laboratory scientists, clinical geneticists, bioinformaticians and genetic counsellors, making it a natural venue for work that crosses these boundaries. The hybrid format widens access, and an accepted abstract gives authors the chance to share findings with a broad European and international genetics community.

Who Should Submit

Academic backgrounds

  • Human and medical genetics
  • Genomics and bioinformatics
  • Clinical genetics
  • Genetic counselling
  • Molecular biology

Institutions and sectors

  • University hospitals and clinical genetics centres
  • Academic research institutes
  • Diagnostic laboratories
  • Genomics and biotechnology companies

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. Identification or characterisation of disease genes or variants with supporting functional evidence.
  2. Diagnostic studies that show how genomic testing changes clinical management or yield.
  3. Methodological advances in sequencing analysis, variant classification or data integration.
  4. Work addressing ethical, counselling or implementation questions raised by genomic medicine.

Ideas You Could Develop

Diagnostic yield of exome sequencingAn analysis of diagnostic yield and clinical impact of exome or genome sequencing in a defined patient group.
Functional assessment of novel variantsA study combining patient data with laboratory assays to classify variants of uncertain significance in a disease gene.
Patient experience of genomic resultsA mixed-methods study of how patients and families understand and use genomic test results.

Your Plan to the Deadline

A suggested schedule working back from 4 February 2027. Adjust it to the stage your work has reached.

  1. By 24 Dec 2026

    Open the official call for abstracts; confirm the tracks, word limit, format and author rules.

  2. By 7 Jan 2027

    Agree the key result, the authors and the presenting author.

  3. By 21 Jan 2027

    Draft the structured abstract to the word limit, with results stated as numbers.

  4. By 28 Jan 2027

    Circulate to co-authors and an independent reader; revise.

  5. By 2 Feb 2027

    Final checks: title, author affiliations, conflicts of interest and track selection.

  6. By 4 Feb 2027

    Submit through the official abstract system before the deadline.

What you gain

  • Feedback from peers working on the same questions.
  • A citable abstract or proceedings paper.
  • Contacts for collaboration, employment and future funding.
  • A step towards a full journal article.

What happens after you submit

  1. Acknowledgement: the abstract system confirms receipt; keep the submission number.
  2. Review: the scientific committee scores abstracts against the track criteria.
  3. Decision: accepted abstracts are assigned to an oral, poster or e-poster session.
  4. Registration: presenting authors usually must register by a stated date.
  5. Publication: accepted abstracts or papers may appear in the conference proceedings or journal supplement.

What the Organisers Are Looking For

The conference seeks abstracts on human and medical genetics and genomics, spanning basic, clinical and societal research. Strong submissions typically report clear findings, describe cohorts and methods transparently and explain the relevance for diagnosis, understanding of disease or patient care. Categories, submission dates and presentation formats should be confirmed on the official ESHG 2027 abstracts page.
