Declaration of interest
|
The Congress Programme Committee requests speakers, abstract presenters, judges and chairpersons to disclose potential conflict of interests regarding the topics of the presentations during the introduction of the session for chairpersons or on the first slide of the presentation for speakers. This will allow the audience to take potential conflicts of interest into account when assessing the objectivity of the presentation. A potential conflict of interest may arise from various relationships, past or present, such as employment, consultancy, investments and stock ownership, funding for research, family relationship, etc.
|
The existence of potential conflicts of interest does not necessarily indicate a bias. However it is your ethical obligation to inform organisers anod participants so that they are made aware of any relationship that might cause unintentional bias.
Speakers are requested to declare interest regarding their current presentation on their first slide.
Chairpersons/Panellists/Judges are requested to declare interest regarding the topics of the presentations during the session on their first slide (if applicable) or orally at the beginning of the session.
Oral Abstract Presenters are requested to disclose potential conflicts of interest regarding their presentation in the first slide.
Poster Presenters are requested to disclose potential conflicts of interest regarding poster presentation at the bottom of their poster.
Chairperson Guidelines
Chairpersons should ensure the smooth progress of the session, time management as well as encourage discussions and interactions between faculty members and the audience by allowing sufficient time for questions from the audience. We recommend to all chairpersons to liaise with the speakers presenting in their session as early as possible preferably prior to the congress. In order to contact the speakers involved in your session contact the scientific progamme department who will put you in contact with the team involved in your session.

The title should be emphasized by the use of bold-face type. When displayed the letters used should not be smaller than 15mm.
The subtitle should be printed in the same kind of lettering, but semi-bold and not less than 10mm high when displayed.
This guarantees clear reading even from a distance of 2-3 meters.
