Following the success of last year’s call for scientific papers and posters (now published as a BMC supplement here), this year openEHR International, with the support of our sponsor Frontiers in Digital Health, is inviting researchers, clinicians, developers and healthcare innovators to submit abstracts for EHRCON26.
The title of the research topic is: openEHR and the Open Platform Ecosystem: Clinical Models, Vendor-Neutral Architectures, and Collaboration Across Standards for Interoperable, Patient-Centred Care.
All abstracts (for posters or full papers) will be subject to a stringent peer review process. If accepted, they will be published in an Ebook as a supplement to conference proceedings. The requirements for submitting an abstract are as follows:
- Title: 500 character upper limit
- Text: 1,000 words max.
- Figures: max. 2 (include the figure captions at the bottom of the figure in a figure file)
- No supplementary material
- Posters/visual abstracts can be submitted
- Deadline for submission: 31 May 2026 (2026-05-31)
- All abstracts will be submitted to a full peer review process, and feedback will be provided to authors by 30 June 2026 (2026-06-30)
- Amendments required at peer review must be completed, and corrected abstracts resubmitted by 15 July 2026 (2026-07-31)
- All abstracts must be sent to events@openehr.org
Any authors who wish to proceed to publication of full articles in the journal Frontiers in Digital Health will need to meet publication costs themselves (or through their institution/employer). However, EHRCON26 attendees who confirm their participation in advance will receive a 25% discount on this fee from Frontiers. If you wish to proceed to publication of a full article, please email events@openehr.org to confirm.
The full research topic proposal will be published on the Frontiers website – please check this page for details in the coming weeks, when the link to research topic and further details will be published.
