For the third consecutive year, a particularly transformative project will be awarded the Unimedsuisse Prize for a Sustainable Healthcare System worth CHF 2,000.
Key Dates:
- Registration for the Forum opens – early June
- Call for proposals opens (abstract submission) – August 12
- Call for Workshop opens - August 12
- Abstract & Workshop submission deadline – September 16
- Notification of abstract acceptance/rejection (posters, or oral presentations for finalists) & Workshop acceptance/rejection - October 12
- Early bird rate ends - October 23.
By default, selected projects will be presented as posters; poster sessions will take place during the morning, lunch, and afternoon breaks.
Finalist projects selected by the jury will be presented in the plenary session (oral presentation). The audience will vote for the project among the finalists that will be awarded the Unimedsuisse Prize for a Sustainable Healthcare System.
New: Call for workshops
Workshops will take place for one hour in the afternoon. This time can be used for a short presentation followed by a participatory activity related to the presentation, or entirely for the participatory activity. They offer workshop organizers an opportunity to test processes, gather feedback, and/or engage participants in an immersive experience.
The two calls—for projects and workshops—will be separate; applicants may respond to one, the other, or both.
Only projects submitted in response to the call for projects will be eligible for the unimedsuisse Prize for a Sustainable Healthcare System.
