  • Invited speakers are also asked to submit an abstract of their presentation.

  • Abstracts must be submitted in English language but abstracts for the nursing program can also be submitted in German language.
  • The abstract should be no longer than 2500 characters (incl. space characters).
  • Any pictures, attachments or similar are not allowed/will not be displayed.
