Present Your Work
Call for Policy-related Concept Papers
The 11th LifeCourse Health Prevention Summit (LIFE2026) invites researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to prepare, submit, and present a policy-related concept paper at one of the most influential science-policy interface events in health prevention. This is your opportunity to share evidence-based insights, advance prevention policy, and connect with a global network of experts, academics, and decision-makers.
Important notice: Because the 11th Summit is organised in parallel with the 18th Excellence in Pediatrics Conference (EIP2026), all concept paper summaries (abstracts) must be submitted through the official EIP2026 abstract submission system.
What is a Concept Paper?
At LIFE2026, we do not call for traditional research abstracts alone. We invite you to develop a policy-related concept paper, a structured, evidence-informed document that bridges scientific findings with actionable policy recommendations.
The process involves three stages:
Important Dates for Abstract Submission
Plan your submission early to maximize visibility at LIFE2026. Stay on top of deadlines to ensure your abstract is reviewed and published in the official conference materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit my concept paper abstract?
Submit exclusively through the EIP2026 online submission system. We do not accept submissions via email or post.
Why must I submit through the EIP2026 system?
The 11th LifeCourse Health Prevention Summit is organised in parallel with the 18th Excellence in Pediatrics Conference. A single submission system is used for both events to streamline the review process and conference logistics.
Can I submit multiple abstracts?
Yes. You may submit multiple abstracts, but you can be the presenting author for a maximum of three.
What happens after my abstract is accepted?
You will be notified of acceptance and invited to submit your full concept paper. You will also receive details about the specific LIFE2026 session or meeting where you are expected to present.
What if my abstract is not accepted for oral presentation?
Abstracts not approved for an oral presentation slot may be considered for a poster presentation format, subject to the committee's evaluation.

You may submit without prior registration, but presenting authors must complete registration and payment upon acceptance.
Thematic Areas for Submission
You are invited to submit a concept paper on any theme related to the LIFE2026 Learning Zones listed below. Health prevention is a broad and evolving field, and we also welcome submissions that go beyond these zones — whether your work explores established topics or breaks new ground at the intersection of research and policy.
