1.        Welcome
     Due to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, the organising committee has opted for a hybrid congress
     set-up. An online platform will be integrated in our in-person event, making it possible for those
     who are unable to travel to attend the congress. Though, it might be in a different way, we believe
     that sponsors can also benefit from new opportunities. What we consider so far:
        • Live-streaming all symposia. Upon the speakers´ authorisation, they will be recorded and
            available afterwards during a limited time for congress-registered participants. The sponsors
            will have the possibility of virtual interaction with participants.
        • Pre-recording oral presentations, and a selection of oral presentations live-streamed and
            made available on the virtual platform.
        • Virtual Exhibition (no on-site exhibition).
     Be aware that, as a health organisation, we are closely monitoring the evolving regulations to
     guarantee that all protocols in force at the time of the congress will be followed strictly.

 The Continental European Division (CED-IADR), together with the Scandinavian Division (NOF), of the
 International Association for Dental Research (IADR) continue the long-lasting fruitful tradition of
 organising a two-and-half day Oral Health Research congress in Europe, this time organised in the
 form of a HYBRID congress.

      o    CED-IADR/NOF is expanding its reach through an online platform integrated in the in-person
           event. CED-IADR/NOF hopes to be inclusive towards those who are unable to attend the
           congress physically or prefer to attend virtually.
      o    Both in-person and virtual attendees will experience unique networking opportunities.

           easy-to-navigate and straightforward virtual platform, set up for both in-person and virtual
           participants.
      o    Participants will be able to log onto the virtual platform a few weeks before the start of the
           congress. Virtual sponsor artwork will be visible for a much longer time.
      o    Participants will be able to view lectures online for a certain time after the congress by logging
           onto the virtual platform. This feature will also increase your company visibility.
      o    Posters will be upgraded to short pre-recorded oral presentations and will be made available
           on the virtual platform throughout the entire duration of the congress and after the congress.
           This will also be applicable for clinical case reports.
      o    Increased chances of interaction and networking with participants thanks to an intuitive chat
           function in our virtual platform.
      o    Sponsors have the opportunity to organise online round-table meetings and moderated
           sessions, depending on the sponsorship level (see Sponsor Guide). Introduce your company to
