Extended deadline: Abstract submission open until 20 April for the TAND Mini-Symposium on 7 May 2026

The TAND Consortium is pleased to invite abstract submissions for the third online TAND Mini-Symposium, to be held online on 7 May 2026 from 14:00 to 17:00 Central European Time (CET).

The TAND Mini-Symposium provides a dedicated space for members of the TAND community to share research, exchange ideas, and build collaboration across disciplines and perspectives. The symposium aims to support dialogue between researchers, clinicians, and other members of the TAND community. We particularly encourage submissions from early-career researchers, including undergraduate, postgraduate, and postdoctoral researchers engaged in TAND-related work.

We welcome abstracts reflecting a broad range of perspectives, including:
• Clinical research
• Psychosocial and interdisciplinary research
• Applied and translational research

Presentation formats

Accepted abstracts will be presented in one of the following formats:
• Standard presentations (15 minutes)
• Flash Talks (5 minutes)

Authors are invited to indicate their preferred presentation format. While every effort will be made to accommodate these preferences, the scientific committee will determine the final allocation in order to ensure a balanced programme and to provide presentation opportunities to a broad range of contributors.
