Submissions

Please submit abstracts of approximately 400 to 700 characters that are appropriate for our target audience. In general, the submitted abstracts should be formulated objectively and precisely so that the program advisory board gets a good idea of the content of the intended presentation. Additional material to support the application (longer abstracts, slides, essays, etc.) is welcome.

The conference team would like to draw the attention of all speakers to the conference's Code of Conduct (German) and insist on its observance. You can find the program advisory board here. Do you have any questions about the conference or the program? Then please feel free to contact the conference team.
