Evaluation procedure

All submitted proposals will be reviewed by the International Scientific Committee (ISC). 

Each proposal will be reviewed by 2 to 3 reviewers.

Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their proposal(s): Soon to be announced. 

If the proposal is accepted, the organizer, chair, and speakers should confirm their attendance and register for the congress by 15 March 2023. 

If the organizer, chair, and speakers are not registered by that date, the proposal will be removed from the congress program. In case a chair or speaker is unable to attend the congress, a substitute presenter may take his/her place (the same deadlines apply).

Further instructions for the organizer, chair, and speakers whose proposals are accepted will be posted on the website. 

Please note we do not allow abstracts funded or sponsored by organizations/companies that are detrimental to health, e.g. tobacco and arms industry (WFPHA Congress funding, donations and sponsorship policy).
