"...bringing together the world's leading experts and working alongside for the global promotion of awareness, research and treatment of Tourette Syndrome."
Basic and clinical scientists, clinicians, PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, residents, fellows and other professionals from around the world working in all areas associated with Tourette Syndrome, tic and related disorders, are invited to submit abstracts to be presented as posters* or oral presentations, as well as abstracts with a clinical case video (reserved for the clinical rounds session).
*Poster-presenting authors may opt to present their work on stage, –as last June in Brussels (additional time will be offered per poster in Varese!), or the traditional, "poster (paper) on display" format.
This year, both posters and oral presentations will be made available to the audience in digital format only.
The authors may submit their abstracts by 1 September 2021. They will be notified by 5 September 2021 regarding the format of their presentation, e-poster (+ optional audio file) or oral presentation-, and will have to send their material by 15 September 2021.
💡 2 important dates to bookmark:
⚠️ Registration before submission:
If you plan to submit an abstract you, –or at least one person from your group–, will need to register for the conference before the submission deadline.
In the rare event of unsuccessful submissions, authors may request a full registration refund until 2 weeks after the early bird deadline (7 April 2024).
