Abstracts
Sharing your work at the Society for Endocrinology BES 2026 conference is a fantastic opportunity to get useful feedback and ideas to progress your work as well as boosting your presentation and networking skills.
Abstract submission deadline: Monday 13 October 2025 (11:59 BST)
Abstracts are accepted on the understanding that the work has not been published or presented elsewhere. Encore abstracts are not accepted, excluding associated Society for Endocrinology events.
Ahead of the conference, you will be able to explore the complete collection of abstracts that are due to be presented at SfE BES 2026 in Endocrine Abstracts - a permanent, fully citable website that’s freely available to all without access restrictions. In an effort to be more environmentally friendly, the abstract list will only be available to access online and not in a printed format.
Accepted abstracts are presented at the Conference as an oral presentation, printed poster, or ePoster. You can view abstracts from SfE BES 2025 here.
The Society for Endocrinology hopes to attract a wide range of endocrine related research to its meeting to be shared and viewed by members of the field.
