Innovations at this year’s

EUROMEDLAB

scientific program

Open Symposia The first innovation of this EUROMEDLAB is the

“debate” symposia, where the “pros” and “cons” in

controversial areas of Laboratory Medicine will be

discussed by leading experts with corresponding

opinions.

These symposia will be open to the general public and

press. The topics are

1. “lessons from 30 years of cancer screening”,

2. “the ethical problems of gene editing”,

3. “direct to consumer testing” and

4. “can we afford the increasing costs in health care?”.

One open symposium will be organized each day of the

congress.

Meet the expert

The second innovation concerns mostly the young

scientists, but participation is not restricted only to

them. It is called “meet the expert”.

We plan to organize these sessions in collaboration with

the IFCC task force for the young scientists.

Each day of the congress, leading experts in various

fields of Laboratory Medicine will be available to

participants for “in-depth analysis” and “case-studies

presentations”.

These short presentations will be followed by discussion

with the audience.

Pre-registration (at no extra cost) will be needed in

order to participate in these sessions.
