The World Congress of Epidemiology 2024 (WCE2024) has officially opened abstract submissions for its triennial meeting, scheduled to take place from 24-27 September 2024. Organized by the International Epidemiological Association, this prestigious event will bring together leading epidemiologists from around the world.

Hosted at the renowned University of Cape Town's School of Public Health, WCE2024 promises a diverse and engaging scientific program, providing a unique platform for researchers to present their work to a global audience. The congress will feature abstract-driven presentations, including both oral and poster sessions, covering a wide range of epidemiological topics.

• Abstracts will be considered in a range of categories and will be presented as oral presentations or poster presentations.

• Abstracts may present the results of scientific research (research abstracts) or findings of an epidemiological programme, service platform or training initiative (programmatic abstracts).

• Abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of experts including members of our International Scientific Organising Committee and our Local Organising Committee.

• Abstracts will be processed on a continuous basis from 23 October 2023, with dispositions released on 8 Jan 2024 (fast track), 25 March 2024 (general review) and 24 May 2024 (late breakers).

Researchers, practitioners, and professionals in the field of epidemiology are encouraged to seize this opportunity to contribute to the global discourse on public health.
