Who is responsible for selecting the topic of the abstract, conducting the research, and writing the abstract for the congress?

The authors of the abstract are responsible for all of these steps.

Can I participate in the congress as a student from a faculty other than the faculty of medicine or as a graduate student?

Undergraduate students studying in the faculty of medicine can participate as passive participants (listeners). However, undergraduate students from other health sciences/basic biological sciences and graduate students in institutions/institutes affiliated with the faculty of medicine can participate as active participants if approved by the Evaluation Committee.

Can I apply for both oral and poster presentation with the same abstract?

Participants can choose their presentation format as either poster or oral presentation, or both, via the active participant application form. However, the Evaluation Committee may request changes in the presentation formats of studies submitted as oral or poster presentations.

Can I apply with multiple abstracts?

Participants can only apply with one abstract as the responsible author who will make the presentation. However, they can participate in multiple studies as a co-author.

Who is responsible for the preparation and printing costs of the posters?

The participant is responsible for all costs related to the preparation and printing of posters, as is the case with the writing and submission of abstracts.

What is the language of the congress? Can I make an oral or poster presentation in English?

The language of oral and poster presentations can be Turkish or English, at the participant’s preference.
