Call for papers for Netherlands Contact Lens Congress

Call for papers for Netherlands Contact Lens Congress

Online submissions for a research symposium, part of one of Europe’s biggest eye health conferences, are now open.

The Netherlands Contact Lens Congress (NCC) will be held on 10–11 March 2024 in Veldhoven. It aims to nurture new researchers, clinicians and young academics to present at international level.

A call for papers and posters has been issued for a scientific stream to be delivered by the British Contact Lens Association (BCLA). The deadline for pre-screening is 1 October and final submission 30 October.

BCLA chief executive Luke Stevens-Burt said: “We look forward once again to overseeing an exciting and innovation-leading stream at the NCC’s event. The theme of the 2024 event is ‘future generation’ and we can expect the profession’s next wave of pioneers shining on stage.

“This is a congress with education, innovation, news, development and networking at its core and the BCLA is proud to support this event through the scientific stream.”

Submissions for the symposium should be abstracts and can be a paper, electronic poster or case report. All abstracts will be published in Contact Lens and Anterior Eye (CLAE).

Everyone who submits abstracts by 1 October using the online submission form will have the opportunity to have them pre-screened once by a member of the NCC and BCLA academic committee, with any comments returned to the author.

The NCC expects more than 1,500 contact lens practitioners and optometrists to attend. The programme is expected to cover contact lens materials, solutions, design, entrepreneurship, and the use of AI. The full criteria for online submission is available at the BCLA
