Innovative Session Formats

At the 67th Annual Meeting of the GTH, participants will also benefit from innovative session formats, such as ‘For and Against’ debates, Meet the Experts, educationists and other interactive sessions. This guarantees not only the sharing of knowledge, but also the exchange of ideas and opinions between participants and speakers. 

The plenary lectures by renowned invited speakers will provide updates on the main topics of the meeting and showcase some of the latest clinical and basic science.

A formal discussion on a particular matter between invited speakers.

These sessions are composed of abstract presentations and presentations by invited speakers.

There will be a set of interesting satellite and lunch symposia sponsored by our industrial partners. Thematically, they will outline some of the most innovative treatment options in haemostasis, thrombosis and vascular medicine.

State-of-the-art lectures by renowned scientists are followed by select oral presentations on the latest findings from basic and clinical research.

These sessions are led by recognized authorities in their fields. After a presentation about their specialised topic the experts will open the session for discussion, which will be driven by active audience participation.

Diese Sitzungen werden von Fachleuten ihres Gebiets geleitet. Nach einer Präsentation über ihr Fachthema werden die Experten die Sitzung zur Diskussion eröffnen, die von einer aktiven Publikumsbeteiligung getragen wird.

On the first day, we offer workshops for health care professionals.

Disorders of thrombosis and haemostasis affecting patients throughout their entire life are approached from different angles and discussed by an interdisciplinary expert panel.

A case-based practical approach to challenging issues in the diagnosis and treatment of bleeding and thrombotic disorders.

Established scientists share their knowledge and personal experience on how to build a career in a rapidly changing research environment.
