Abstract presentations
We encourage all NSI members to submit abstracts for the meeting. 8-10 of the submitted abstracts will be selected for oral presentations. Please note that oral presentations may qualify for study points towards a degree. In addition, we hope to see many posters and discussions during the poster session. Please indicate during registration whether you wish to present a poster. Poster presentation is independent of the oral presentations, and you may present in both formats.

Members that wish to bring up an item for discussion at the General Assembly can notify Marit Inngjerdingen at mariti@medisin.uio.no in advance in order to put it on the agenda.
