Notes on Visual Abstracts

Visual abstract

Sums it up graphically! Attracts attention! Enhances the session!

With just one presentation slide as a graphical overview, the essential content of an abstract or research paper is summarised in condensed form. The visual abstracts are made available to conference participants both on site at self-study terminals and online afterwards via the conference media library.

Visual abstracts must be submitted via Upload Center by 10 February 2026 at the latest. Authors will receive the access data in a separate email by the end of January 2026. Presentations that are not submitted by 10 February 2026 will not be included in the congress programme.
