The IBIA World Congress on Brain Injury welcomes the submission of original research and clinical findings on a broad range of brain injury topics and subspecialties. Submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted abstracts will be presented oral presentations or posters during the Congress held in Dublin. All accepted abstracts will be published in a special edition of IBIA’s official journal, Brain Injury.
An accepted scientific paper will be presented during an oral presentation or as a poster. Oral presentation will be 10 minutes in length including questions and discussion. Posters are graphic presentations of a scientific paper.

Abstract Publication & Poster Awards
All accepted papers and posters will be published and indexed in IBIA’s official journal Brain Injury. Accepted posters will have the opportunity to be considered for IBIA Awards. The World Congress on Brain Injury has limited competitive spots for oral presentation. Those submitted with a preference for oral presentation will also be considered for poster presentation if slots for oral are filled.
