Invitation to present research findings
During the first day of the conference we wish to draw a map of the on-going research in the cancer field in Denmark. We invite all those interested to send in abstracts on research projects, clinical trials or other research activities related to cancer in order to make their mark on the map.
It is not a requirement that the data are presented for the first time at the conference, but we encourage original findings. We expect the posters to be available all day during 29th of August as there will be a poster viewing session in the afternoon. In addition, selected abstract submitters will be given the possibility to present their research from stage in one of the sessions.
Poster awards
Two poster awards of each DKK 5000 are given to the best two posters on Friday, August 30th. On Thursday, the poster-committee will review at the posters and listen to selected presentations. The awards are given on the basis of academic content and how clearly the message is presented and visually communicated.
Presentation from stage
Selected abstract submitters will be given the opportunity to present their research on stage during the conference. The presentation can be made in either Danish or English.
After the submission deadline, the poster-committee selects a number of submitters to prepare a short video presentation of the abstract. From these video presentations the poster-committee selects a number of participants to present their research on stage.
Further information on the process will be sent directly to the selected submitters.
The criteria for selection are originality, scientific quality and cancer relevance.
