3. The title may not exceed 250 characters including spaces. The abstract text may not be longer than 2500 characters (ca. 300 words) including spaces, excluding disclosures.
4. All abbreviations must be defined the first time they appear in your text (but, do not define in the title). Example: Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS), before being used as an abbreviation only.
5. Use generic drug names.
6. Tables, charts or other graphics may not be included and will be deleted by the editors.
7. Disclosure of potential conflict of interest (e.g. grant support, consultancy, membership on advisory councils, speaker’s bureau) by all authors and source of funding aremandatory. Each listed author should prepare a one sentence statement that will be published with the abstract. All disclosures should be listed within the last 3 year.
8. Please make sure to state your correct e-mail address. After having submitted your abstract, you will  receive a confirmation by e-mail with the following information:
   • reference number of your abstract (for correspondence and questions that might arise)
   • your personal user code and password.
   If you do not receive a confirmation by e-mail please contact ECTRIMS2018[at]abstractserver.com.
9. Should you wish to make corrections to an abstract already submitted or if you wish to submit other abstracts later, you may use your personal access code. This will shorten the submission procedure.
   Corrections to abstracts can only be made up to the deadline of 13 June 2018, 23.59h CET.
