Types of Participation

During these challenging times SURGICON has adapted and grown in order to offer an authentic experience without failing to follow safety measures. More options of participation packs are available to suit your individual preferences.

ACTIVE

ACTIVE

If you wish to engage in the Scientific Competition you must register as an active participant.

Being an active participant means being a Presenting Author of a scientific paper (Oral or Poster presentation) or a participant in the Debate Session.

  • Presenting Authors are required to submit an abstract through their account and, during the congress, they should attend the program of the Scientific Competition. Co-authors of a scientific paper may register as active participants only if they are Presenting authors of a different scientific paper. Otherwise, they can be Passive participants or non-attending.

  • Participants in the Debate Session of the Scientific Competition should apply in teams of two. Each of the two participants of the team should create an account for themselves and register as Active participants.

Presenting Authors have the responsibility to send an abstract before the deadline. For more information about the Scientific competition and abstract submission guidelines, check the Student Scientific Session section .

An Active participant has access to all of the conferences and activities included in the corresponding Passive participant pack. The accepted abstracts will be published in the Abstract Book of the congress.

This type of participation is suited for medical or biomedical students. Graduates cannot be active participants.

PASSIVE

PASSIVE

Passive participants can attend all events organised during the Congress, but they cannot be a Presenting author or an Active participant in the Debate Session.

This type of participation is suited for medical or biomedical students, graduates, resident physicians, attending physicians, researchers of medical fields and representatives of the medical industry.

PhD students and graduates can register only as Passive participants.
