The Programme Committee invites submission of
abstracts, which will only be accepted if they are with short slide
presentations (pragster). The abstracts will be based on the three
sub-themes:
- Regulatory issues and ethics in conduct of clinical trials
- Capacity building and networking in conducting clinical trials
- Experiences in conducting clinical trials
Visual presentations
There will be no space available for the display of posters. Instead the visual presentation with pragster will be presented to the attendees of the conference on computer terminals during coffee and lunch breaks.
Please note: applicants for visual presentations will have no space for speaking.
In addition, registered attendees will receive a memory stick that
will contain all pragsters.
The deadline to submit abstracts is 21 July 2006 and they must be submitted electronically. No abstracts will be accepted after this date.
Abstracts will be reviewed by the Programme Committee that reserves the right to accept and allocate abstracts for visual presentations. Authors will be notified by 15 August 2006 if their abstract has been accepted.
