Presentation formats
All Presenters are required to present their research onsite in Munich.
Selected abstracts have been assigned to one of the following presentation formats:
Awards Sessions (Science Boxes, Research Gateway)
These sessions will feature the 4 top-rated abstracts in the category. Each finalist will present their research and will be challenged with questions by the jury members.
The jury members will be scoring on the following criteria: Originality, Scientific Content, Presentation and Answers to Questions.
Each finalist will receive a free registration to the congress, an Award certificate and a prize - €1,500 for the winners and €800 for the runners-up.
The results of the competition will be announced during the Awards Ceremony, Sunday 30 August at 4:15 p.m. in Reykjavik Lecture Room.

Advances in Science Sessions (Lecture Rooms)
Each session will feature the latest original findings in science on the topic in combination with an introductory state-of-the-art lecture given by an expert.
Oral Abstract Sessions (Science Boxes, Research Gateway)
These interactive sessions will be moderated by two Chairpersons, experts in the topic. Each session will feature key messages from 6 abstracts and will be broadcasted live from the congress for the online audience.
Moderated ePoster Sessions (Stations, Research Gateway)
Selected abstracts will be presented as an ePoster on a large screen and moderated by two Chairpersons, experts in the topic.
All presenters will summarise their research and address questions from the Chairpersons and the audience.
ePosters will also be available for consultation for the full day of their presentation on 2 dedicated topic related side screens – this will give the opportunity for further discussion and interaction.
ePoster Rounds (Ex-change Circles, Research Gateway)
Selected abstracts will be presented as an ePoster on a dedicated screen.
These sessions will provide a unique networking opportunity for each presenter to engage within a small group led by two experts in the field, discussing their research.
This innovative format will foster dynamic exchanges and enhance inclusivity enabling broader engagement and active dialog.
