Call for Abstracts:
2nd SAFETYNET Scientific Conference

The 2nd SAFETYNET Scientific Conference will be held at the Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from September 22—26, 2025.

 

Abstracts from current trainees and recent graduates (those who graduated or completed their training after January 2023) of applied or field epidemiology training programs (FETPs) of any tier (frontline, intermediate, advanced) in the Southeast Asia and Western Pacific regions may be submitted online at https://auth.oxfordabstracts.com/?redirect=/stages/77149/submitter from December 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025.

 

Abstracts on any epidemiological studies conducted between January 2023 and January 2025 are eligible for submission. All abstracts should be written in English. Each person is allowed only one abstract submission as primary author.

 

Note: All abstract submissions, whether of current trainees or recent graduates, should be submitted by the FETP Director, Coordinator, Program Manager, Training Officer/Master Trainer or Resident Advisor.

 

SAFETYNET will assign three qualified epidemiologists from our pool of abstract reviewers to review each submitted abstract. Abstracts will be considered as candidates for either oral or poster sessions. In order to provide opportunities to those who have not yet presented in an international conference, abstracts of studies which have not been previously presented in international conferences or accepted for publication or published in a peer-reviewed journal will be given preference. Once an abstract is accepted, the Scientific Committee will determine whether it is more appropriate for oral or poster presentation.

 

By mid-April 2025, FETP Program Directors will receive a complete list of the results of abstracts submitted from their programs. Upon receipt of the results, directors are expected to communicate the results to primary authors of submitted abstracts. Those whose abstracts are accepted for oral or poster presentation will also be informed and sent joint invitation letters from SAFETYNET and Epidemic Intelligence Program (EIP) Malaysia by the end of April. They also will receive guidelines regarding the structure and delivery of their oral or poster presentations.
