IOC CONGRESS 2020 SUBMISSIONS
Dear Colleagues,
Based on the success of the 1st and 2nd World Congresses on Sports Injury Prevention in Oslo in 2005 and Tromsø in 2008, and their successor, the IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury & Illness in Sport in 2011, 2014 and 2017, the next IOC World Conference will be held in Monaco from 12 March through 14 March 2020.
The scientific committee is delighted to welcome your proposals for meeting sessions and speakers. The deadline for submission of proposals is 30 October 2018.
When submitting proposals, please refer to the enclosed definitions of meeting sessions. To be considered for inclusion in the programme, your proposal must strictly follow the format outlined in the enclosed instructions. Your proposal will be evaluated by the scientific committee, and the final programme of invited speakers will be ready by the beginning of 2019.
The IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury & Illness in Sport will follow the model of the previous editions, with a multidisciplinary perspective on sports injury prevention for different sports and different injury types, including studies on intervention methods, epidemiology, risk factors and injury mechanisms. Also, as in 2017, the scope of the conference has been expanded from sports injury prevention, to also include the prevention of other health problems associated with sports participation.
The three-day programme will include four or five keynote lectures, about 20-25 symposia, three to five head-to-head debates, 15-20 workshops, in addition to free communications and posters.
Please note that, at this time, we are asking only for proposals for keynote lectures, symposia and head-to-head debates - not abstracts for free communications or workshops. The deadline for submission of abstracts for free communications and posters will be 15 September 2019.
Please also note that your chances for acceptance increase if you submit the "same" symposium proposal in both a 60- and a 90-minute format.
Please submit your proposal on the website www.ioc-preventionconference.org at your earliest convenience,
but not later than 30 October 2018.
For any assistance please write an email to info@ioc-preventionconference.org
Note that although the congress committee will cover the cost of accommodation and social events for invited speakers, we will not be able to reimburse travel costs, since we plan to invite a considerable number of international speakers to be able to feature a first-class programme. We encourage you to visit the conference website at www.ioc-preventionconference.org, where more information will be posted over the next few months.
Monaco is situated on the most beautiful coast in Europe, built on a rock between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea. Its mild climate, easy access, excellent hotels and security are the principal qualities which make Monaco a prestigious destination for an unforgettable event. Furthermore, the Grimaldi Forum, a state-of-the-art conference centre for the 3rd millennium, daringly built out over the sea with a total area of 35.000 m2, is the perfect location to receive a high standard congress such as the IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury & Illness in Sport.
We welcome your programme proposals and look forward to a spectacular congress in Monaco in 2020!
Yours faithfully,
Richard Budgett
IOC Medical & Scientific Director
Roald Bahr
President, Scientific Committee
