Explanation for those who have submitted an abstract
Our virtual conference has limited space for life presentations. We only can set up the programme when we know who will take part definitively. If persons retire their presentation without having paid the congress fee, we have a gap in presentations and finances. For reasons of fairness, we cannot promise a life presentation to someone as long as we do not know who will join us.
However, we can promise you that all accepted presentations- whether life or in library only- get the same confirmation letter and will be refunded equally.
In the library, there is also a function for direct questions to the authors and they get an alert if such a question has dropped in. So also in this format, prompt contact between presenter and persons with requests or suggestions is possible and planned.
Science slam as well as many workshops cannot be included in life programme. In this case, you are free to switch to a lecture or other format to be presented in the virtual library. One slide 5 minutes is also a format which fits better to the virtual library than to life online presentations and we will find individual solutions for state of the art sessions and symposia.
For many posters with high grade by reviewers there will be an upgrade with moderated discussion rounds in late afternoon.
By registering and paying before knowing the definite programme you show that you are not only interested in presenting but also your commitment to our WONCA family. So registering for the conference and paying the fee is also an act of solidarity with WONCA Europe and our common aims of family medicine.
