The Union announces the call for online submission of abstracts for presentation at the 46th Union World Conference on Lung Health, to be held in Cape Town, South Africa from 2 to 6 December 2015.
The Union seeks abstracts that provide evidence and demonstrate best practices to eliminate TB; address challenges in HIV and adult & child lung health; and contribute to global tobacco control.
Abstract Mentor Programme
The Union offers an Abstract Mentor Programme to facilitate the participation of individuals with less experience in developing and submitting abstracts for peer review, either scientific or programmatic in nature. Using this programme, authors can ask for feedback from experienced researchers and program implementers prior to submitting their work. For more information, please download the Mentor Programme.
