SCIENTIFIC FORMAT
Due to the ongoing sanitary emergency and the resulting ban on attending meetings until the 1st of July 2021, the 107th SIOeChCF National Congress will necessarily be virtual, only and the hybrid format has been cancelled.
The participation on line will be regulated as follows:

- there will be 4 parallel sessions on several different topics that will be broadcast live in streaming. Participants will be able to choose which one to attend according to their preferences and will also be able to switch from one session to another whenever they like. In addition to the live sessions, accepted pre-recorded contributions will be available on demand 24-hours-a-day on dedicated pages of the website;
- participants will be able to interact with the Speakers by using the appropriate box located on the live streaming page;
- the live streaming sessions will be broadcast every morning and afternoon (live surgery sessions will also be broadcast every morning from 4 operating theaters) and will include mainly Round Tables, Lectures held by International Guests and other contributions that appear to be of common interest since they may complement or integrate the topics on the agenda, or that are considered of particular interest; communications that received the highest marks from the Referees will also be broadcast in live streaming.
- in addition to live sessions, accepted contributions will be available on demand on dedicated pages of the website, grouped according to the topics of presentation and easily accessible through several different searching criteria;
- every presenter of scientific contributions must be regularly registered to the Congress;
- registration to the Congress has to be completed through the appropriate registration Form, on the Registration web page.

SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS
The originally envisaged length of presentations of the scientific contributions has been modified and adapted to the necessities of the online format.
Presenters of the accepted Contributions will have their own works published on the appropriate pages of the live website, grouped according to topics and will be available on demand for the entire duration of the Congress. For this reason a pre-recorded audio-video of their own contribution must be sent to the Organizing Secretary.

Scientific contributions may be presented either in Italian or English, according to the preferences of the Presenter. The Scientific Secretary will mantain a balance between the languages used in the presentations.
