Association of European Psychiatrists: 12th AEP Congress - Geneva, Switzerland, 14

POSTERS

A modern poster session is characterized by being the scientific event

where new original research is presented and discussed
where researchers meet their specific audience
were the researchers have the opportunity for in-dept discussions with research colleagues with the same interests
where the young researchers are presenting for the first time in "safe" environment
where the young researchers meet the experienced seniors
where clinicians have the opportunity of getting an overview of what will come tomorrow
where editors of scientific journals are looking for the new things for their journals
where networks are established
where you get new ideas

In short: the modern poster session is an interesting and joyful marketplace in the best interpretation of the word. Therefore, the AEP gives the highest priority to the poster sessions and we invite the colleagues to present their research in the sessions during the congress; final results as well as preliminary findings.

The posters will be grouped as to topic, and you are encouraged to take contact to your fellow presenters in your thematic section during the session. We will select the three best among the posters at each of the two sessions for a first, second and third prize. The two first prize winners give a short (5-7 minutes) presentation of the research at the closing ceremony on Sunday April 18, 2004.

We, the responsible for the poster sessions, will do our very best to make it an event on the highest scientific level and a warm and personal social event.

Chair: Povl Munk-Jørgensen
Co-chair: Mónika Kovács and Aran Tomac
