Call for Abstracts

The conference will have an interactive character. This means that - aside from keynote lectures - we will organize parallel sessions, with formats including Workshops, Solution rooms, Posters, and Showcases. 

For all formats the conference organizers can provide materials such as paper, pens, markers, post-its/sticky notes, etc. Depending on availability, the conference may be able to offer Lego sets or digital screens. Please indicate your desired materials while submitting an abstract. 

Are you interested in sharing good practices with other communities? Do you want to organize a workshop to spread the word or let people experience your methodology? A workshop lasts 90 minutes and can have up to four presenters. The maximum number of participants is twenty. Please keep in mind that the conference targets a broad audience. 

The abstract is limited to 500 words and should include the title, presenters, theme or question that will be addressed, the intended methods and content of the workshop, and the potential benefits for participants. 

Due to the novelty of citizen science approaches in healthcare, you might run into challenges. The same ones that are, perhaps, also encountered by others. Do you want to explore these challenges with others? Do you need input and feedback on a specific topic? Or do you want to hear how others dealt with a challenge? Solution rooms can be utilized to use the expertise and experience of participants towards tackling the challenge or exploring a topic. Solution rooms last 20 minutes and can have up to two organizers. A maximum of 10 participants can participate. The sessions can be designed according to the needs of the organizers and, if necessary, organizers can bring tools or materials to support the session.
