Oral presentations
Oral presentations are invited from both early-stage researchers and principal investigators.
Presentations are of course welcome and will be selected by the Organizing Committee/Scientific Advisory Board. We will ultimately be limited by the schedule and available time-slots but we will do our very best to avoid disappointment.
Talks will be spread over nine sessions with each session having 3 streams. Each stream will be held in separate meeting rooms with approx. four 20-min. speaker slots.
Talks will be assigned to one of the following themes:
- Pathogenesis & Virulence Factors
- Diagnosis and Treatment
- Pathogen Control Strategies
- Epidemiology and Public Health
- Vaccines & Interventions
- Identification & Typing
- Antimicrobial Resistance
- Adaptation & Virulence
- Focus on Vietnam
- Novel Interventions
- Helicobacter Related Gastric Cancer
- Genome
- Emerging Microorganisms
- Other
During online registration please indicate whether you wish to give an oral presentation and indicate which theme best aligns with your presentation. Please remember to submit an ABSTRACT.
Acceptance of your presentation will be confirmed by the organizing committee and is conditional upon receiving an ABSTRACT.
Please bring your presentation on a USB memory stick. Further instructions regarding uploading your talk will be provided at on-site registration.
