      The Abstract Review Committee is committed to presenting the best in neurotherapeutics research at the ASENT Annual Meeting. All abstracts are evaluated by experts in neurotherapeutics according to the following criteria and overall merit:

      1. Scientific or clinical impact
      2. Quality of data, analysis, and presentation
      3. Relevance to the discovery and/or development of neurotherapeutics and inclusion of novel targets or new initiatives.
      4. Abstracts must be submitted, presented, and cited in English.

      The abstract should describe original research broadly relevant to the goal of ASENT, which is to encourage and advance the development of improved therapies for diseases and disorders of the nervous system. Please check your abstract carefully for typographical errors, misspellings, etc. Be sure to include data or results when available.

      FAQs on Eligibility

      Submitted abstracts that most closely conform to the above criteria may also be selected for a 10-minute oral presentation (including 2 minute Q&A) at our Oral Presentation session. ASENT encourages abstracts from privately or publicly-held startup companies, in addition to government or academic labs that conduct neurotherapeutics research.

      About the Meeting

      The ASENT Annual Meeting attracts a broad spectrum of researchers, clinicians, investors, and other leaders in neurotherapeutics from all over the world, across all neurologic disease areas. Oral presentations increase exposure to strategic partners in life sciences who have supported novel approaches through partnerships or strategic investments.
