Performance Coaching and Short Presentation:
It is the desire of gynécologie suisse Managing Board and the Scientific Advisory Board that the Free Communications, Posters and Videos are predominantly reserved for young researchers. In order to promote young talent, we want to provide young researchers with the opportunity to present themselves and their work and to receive acclaim for outstanding abstracts and presentations.
Abstracts that are of interest can be selected by the jury for a short presentation. For the main topics, we link these short presentations with a visit from a performance coach. That coaching should help our young speakers to give their short presentations in an interesting and concise manner and should also help to build a solid foundation for future lecturing activities.
These presentations are understood to be additional to those given during the session for Posters, Free Communications or Videos.
During performance coaching, which will take place on Thursday 19 May 2022 in Zurich, the presenters of the selected abstracts will receive professional training. Short presentations will only be approved if their presenters have participated in performance coaching. The presenters of the abstracts that have been selected will be informed by Congress Organisation at the end of April 2022.
Should you have any questions or require clarification, please contact the Congress Organisation.
