The organisers of the European Congress of Epidemiology 2006 invite you to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentation. The congress will be held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, from 28 June to 1 July 2006, and is organised by epidemiologists of Utrecht University, under the auspices of the IEA-EEF, and in collaboration with the Netherlands Epidemiological Association.
In the afternoon of June 28 the congress will begin with a plenary keynote session in the medieval University Hall in the City Centre of Utrecht. On June 29 and 30 and July 1, the congress will be held in the Educatorium Building at the Utrecht University Campus (De Uithof).
The goal of this congress is to maintain the highest scientific quality of the presentations and promote the most advanced achievements in our field. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive and educational programme in the field of Epidemiology in Health Care and Public Health, and offer room for contemporary methods and innovations from the perspective of policy makers, professionals and patients. Above all, we want to stimulate open discussion among the congress participants.
All abstracts for oral and poster presentations should be submitted at the congress website before
January 15, 2006. Only online electronically submitted abstracts will be processed.
We welcome abstracts on wide range of topics (for example cardiovascular diseases, mental heath, and pain
syndromes), and disciplines (for example Public Health and Prevention, Clinical Epidemiology, and
Occupational Medicine).
About 100 abstracts will be selected for oral presentations during parallel sessions and about 300 abstracts will be selected for poster presentations during session breaks. Letters of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the corresponding author by March 1, 2006. The final scientific programme will be available on the website by April 2006.
It is possible to propose a mini-symposium. Such proposal should be submitted by e-mail, not be submitted via
the congress website, before December 1, 2005.
Presenters of abstracts (oral, poster or mini-symposia) are supposed to register and pay the congress fee.
For information about the guidelines for submitting an abstract for oral or poster presentation, or proposals for mini-symposia, we refer to the congress website:
