GENERAL BASES, -
Characteristics of the works to present:
There is room for all topics related to research and clinical care of people living with Aniridia and WAGRO Syndrome. From ophthalmological genetics, molecular diagnosis, cell and / or animal modeling genotype-phenotype relationships, biology, neuropediatrics, nephrology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, optometry specialized in low vision, early stimulation and care psychology, etc., the subject is free and should promote the exchange of knowledge between the different specialists who are interested in the better quality of life of people with Aniridia.
The consequences and damages caused by this rare pathology are transversal, and only by working together from different perspectives can we achieve significant advances for all those affected.
The works can be submmited in the following formats:
- Posters
- Oral communication
- Research studies
Those interested in participating in the research study and poster modality must present an abstract of the communication in PDF format of no more than 300 words. Papers must demonstrate the sources from which they have drawn based on their corresponding conclusions in the abstract.
The Work will be presented in English.
Those communications that present results obtained in research projects and, above all, those related to gene therapies will be especially valued.
Presentation of Communications on Research Studies:
Papers that deal with a topic of basic, applied, or clinical research that develop the various aspects of Aniridia and associated ophthalmological and/or systemic alterations will be accepted.
Other conditions:
The Works and Posters presented will be evaluated by the Scientific Evaluation Committee. Its decision is final.
Assessment criteria:
- Originality
- Innovation
- Consistency with the suggested theme
- Expository clarity
Public recognition:
The winners will receive a certificate and a commemorative gift for the work carried out, for their involvement, interest, and commitment to Aniridia and the group that lives with it.
Mailing timeline:
