Call for workshop proposals for ESPACOMP 2023
We welcome the submission of proposals for training workshops at the 27th ESPACOMP Conference. The theme of the conference will be ‘Medication Adherence from Drug Development to Patient Care’.
Training workshops have been a valuable component of the ESPACOMP programme in recent years. We are keen to expand and diversify the educational offer of ESPACOMP and encourage learning from the vast and diverse experience of our members. Workshops will take place on a separate day after the conference (2 December 2023) and can last a full day (7 hours, e.g. 9.00-17.30) or half day (9.00-12.30 or 14.00-17.30).
Proposal submissions for conference workshops are encouraged from the ESPACOMP community. Workshops should be interactive and motivational sessions and follow the ESPACOMP mission.

The deadline for submission of workshop proposals is 11:59pm (CET) June 30, 2023. All proposals will be evaluated by the ESPACOMP Executive Committee following the criteria detailed below. Notifications and decisions on their acceptance are expected to be communicated by mid-July.

Selection Criteria
Proposals will be evaluated based on several criteria by the ESPACOMP Executive Committee, including the complementary nature of the topics covered, their relevance to the conference, and their interactive format.
