To celebrate the EDTNA/ERCA 40th Anniversary, this year only, DIAVERUM are to sponsor three new abstract awards.
Every abstract, submitted following the Association abstract guidelines, will be eligible to be considered for ONE of the awards.
Following the usual abstract marking procedure all abstracts will be scored and judged independently by a team of four multi-professionals within the 13 abstract topic categories. The five highest scoring abstracts across all of the abstract categories that involve a quality initiative will be considered together by a second independent panel for the Best Quality Improvement Award. The same procedure will take place to identify the five highest scoring abstracts for the Best Education Initiative and similarly the Best Research and Innovation.
This means that the best quality improvement, education initiative or research and innovation could be generated from any one of the abstract categories, by any multi-professional on any topic so long as it fits within the categories
described.
The three award winners will receive a study trip arranged by Diaverum to a country where Diaverum is present, flight, accommodation, cost of lecture, transfer and food included. To a Value of approximately 2500 euro.
Abstract award winners will be notified in advance of the Conference. Winners will be expected to attend the Annual General Meeting to receive their awards from the sponsors Diaverum.
