Current international events / 26th congress of the ISFP&PA and Fibrinolysis workshop of the Hungarian Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure and honour for me to invite you to participate in the joint meeting of the International Society for Fibrinolysis and Proteolysis, the International Workshop on Molecular and Cellular Biology of Plasminogen Activation and the Hungarian Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, which will take place from October 11-14, 2023 in Budapest, the beautiful capital of Hungary.
The first international conference on fibrinolysis was organized in 1972 and since then the biennial meetings have contributed largely to establish and continuously expand the international network of clinical and basic researchers who are interested in studying the physiological and pathological aspects of fibrinolysis, plasminogen activation, and extracellular proteolysis. We hope that the 2023 meeting in Budapest will continue these long-lasting traditions and will facilitate the exchange of scientific ideas and discoveries between interested scientists with a mixture of invited state-of-the-art talks and presentations of original research results. As a co-organizer, the Hungarian Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis strongly encourages the participation of researchers from the region of Central and Eastern Europe to promote their integration in the world-wide scientific network in this exciting research field.
I hope you will join us in Budapest to experience some Hungarian hospitality.

The D. Collen Young Investigator Awards
To honor the contributions of Désiré Collen to research on Fibrinolysis, Proteolysis and Thrombolysis, the ISFP has created the D. Collen Young Investigator Awards that will be awarded at the occasion of the Congress.
The following is the criteria for the awards:
- Restricted to PhD/young post-doc level (under 40 years).
- Five (5) abstracts submitted to the Congress are selected by the scientific program committee (on the basis of grading and contents). The first authors of submitted abstracts will have the option to indicate whether they wish to compete for one of these awards.
- The selected abstracts will be presented in a special oral communications session.
- After this session, the scientific program committee will select one (1) abstract as winner, receiving CND3,500, whereas the four (4) others will each receive CND1,500.
How to Submit an Abstract
Delegates, who would like to present their work at the congress, are invited to submit an abstract for consideration by the Scientific Committee for presentation as oral communications or posters.
ISFP and HSTH Members and Non-Members are invited to submit abstracts.
There are no fees to submit an abstract.
Abstracts can only be submitted as MS WORD files online via the abstract submission website that can be found on the official ISFP/HSTH Congress website. Abstracts sent by post or email will not be accepted. No exceptions will be made.

Please ensure your abstract does not contain spelling, grammar, or scientific mistakes, as it will be reproduced exactly as submitted. Linguistic accuracy is your responsibility. No proof reading will be done.
Do not slice results from the same study into multiple abstracts. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to reject abstracts when inappropriate slicing of data is suspected. Similarly, do not submit a copy or close copy of an abstract under more than one topic. Abstracts that appear to be submitted multiple times under different topics will be rejected.
All research and studies in submitted abstracts that involve human subjects or experimental animals must comply with the Declaration of Helsinki.
No revisions can be made after the abstract deadline. To ensure the integrity of the review process, revisions to abstracts will not be accepted after the abstract submission deadline.
