DIA29 - 31 March 2017, Glasgow, UK.
The DIA EuroMeeting 2017 provides a platform for experts from all relevant disciplines within the entire healthcare development and access process to debate and find solutions to some of the most pertinent challenges faced in an ever-evolving healthcare system - including the need to drive innovation.

DIA invites you to submit presentation, session and tutorial abstracts for the 29th Annual EuroMeeting in Glasgow, UK. You may submit more than one abstract. Abstracts should fall under one of the themes detailed bellow.

Session Abstract
A session abstract is a 90-minute session concept delivered lecture-style from the podium. The abstract author is considered the session chair and will coordinate efforts in recruiting speakers and managing the session (including the facilitation of question and answers from the audience). PowerPoint presentations are required. We encourage innovative ideas for session formats that will enhance interaction between stakeholders.

Presentation Abstract
A presentation abstract is for a 20-minute presentation in a specific topic area; the abstract author is considered the speaker. A PowerPoint presentation is required. If selected, the abstract will consist of a single presentation which will fit within a session.

Tutorial Abstract
A tutorial is a 'hands-on', interactive learning experience. A tutorial consists of 3 hours of instruction with a 30-minute break. The abstract author is considered the instructor. One co-instructor may be recruited but cannot be from the same company/organisation as the author.

Hot-Topic / Stand-Alone Sessions
Each year, there are a number of sessions which do not fit directly under the programme themes. If your abstract clearly does not fit with any of the themes / topics outlined, you may submit it for consideration as a hot-topic / stand-alone presentation or session.

How to maximise the probability of your abstract being accepted
Abstracts will be selected by the EuroMeeting Programme Committee. The theme leaders have indicated the strategic topics they would like to address.

  • Focus your abstracts on the proposed topics in this flyer. If your abstract clearly does not fit, submit it as a hot topic / stand-alone presentation or session
  • Your abstract should be as clear and as detailed as possible to enable the theme leaders to make a judgement on its suitability for the programme
  • Abstracts must be non-promotional and non-commercial in order to be considered

If you have any questions about abstract submission, please email the EuroMeeting team: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is Monday, 27 June 2016.
