ECDV conference encourages presentations by practitioners and policy makers, as well as researchers. The submission system does not divide between presentations relating to practice, policy or research, so here are some tips about how you can structure your abstract depending on the focus:

For presentations about practice or policy initiative:

● Background and purpose of the practice or policy initiative;

● A summary of the main points of the practice or policy initiative and any innovative elements;

● Conclusions from and implications of the learning for practice, policy or further research.

If you are presenting results of research:

● Background and purpose of the study: description of the problem, research question(s) and/or hypotheses;

● Methods: study design, sampling, data collection and approaches to analysis;

● Findings: a select few because of the time limit;

● Conclusions and implications: description of the main outcome(s) of the study and implications for practice, policy or further research.
