Introduction
The 25th Euretina Congress will take place from 4 – 7 September 2025 in Paris, with online attendance also possible.
Submissions are now invited for Instructional Courses.
Please note that only Euretina members may submit proposals. If you are not a Euretina member, please click here to join.
The submission portal will remain open until 10th December 2024 at 23.59 CET.
Instructional Course Submission
All Instructional Courses will be 60 minutes in duration.
An instructional course should be a structured learning session which will provide participants with practical tools and insights into the topic of the course.
There should be a focus on teaching and ample time should be left for questions and answers.
Please consider the following formats when compiling your course:
- Didactic presentations with scheduled questions and answers managed by the course chair.
- Case presentations and discussion between panellists with audience involvement.
Chairpersons and faculty should contribute in person where possible, and are requested to make their presentations available on the On-Demand platform after the Congress. Virtual talks (maximum of one per session) may be facilitated at the discretion of the Course Chair where a speaker is deemed critical to a course and face-to-face attendance is not possible.
The Euretina Board aspires to increase the diversity and inclusiveness of its teaching faculty, while simultaneously encouraging future leaders in the field. Please note that age, gender and ethnicity across the faculty will be taken into account by the Programme Committee when accepting programme content.
