We warmly invite participants to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations before the March 16th submission deadline. In keeping with the Workshop’s interactive and collaborative spirit, the presentation of unpublished and emerging research is especially encouraged. The Workshop has long been recognized as an excellent opportunity for trainees at all levels to present their work, build networks, and engage with senior scientists and clinicians. There will be no invited speakers or lectures; all submitted contributions will be equally considered by the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC).
