Every DZG member may submit one abstract. Each abstract must be associated to one of the "Study Groups", since these are responsible for the selection of the oral presentations. Please check the
Website of the DZG to find out more about the Study Groups (“Studiengruppen”). If you are uncertain which one to choose, then choose any that is nearest to the theme that you want to present.

Please note:
The organizers will proceed the abstracts only when registration fees are received.
