Publication and Prizes
Publication
All accepted abstracts are published in a supplement to the journal “Multiple Sclerosis” and on CD-ROM. Both items will be available at the meeting and are included in the registration fee. They will be handed out to all participants with the congress documents onsite.
In addition to the abstracts, the CD-ROM also includes most of the posters presented during this year’s ECTRIMS /ACTRIMS meeting. They can be viewed on dedicated terminals in the E-Poster area on the ground floor (Hall 1) next to the Poster area. Starting 5 October 2011 regular abstracts (verlinken mit Warenkorb) will also be available electronically (Late breaking abstracts at the first day of the conference, 19 October 2011).

Two additional prizes of € 1500 each will be awarded to the two best oral presentations given by young investigators (born on or after 1 January 1976).
