- Abstracts and posters will be accepted ONLY simultaneously (in one email!) and ONLY during the week of 3 - 7 March 2025 at hana.slovakova@upol.cz. The sender MUST be a student (not a supervisor). Failure to meet these basic conditions will result in the student's work not being included in the abstract book or conference presentation program for that academic year.
- The format of abstracts and posters is specified in the documents placed on the LF UP website in the SVOČ section and must be fully observed, otherwise the topic will not be accepted for presentation.

The supervisor must always recieve a copy of the email and the student must have secured their approval.
- If the topic is in Czech, the paper must also be submitted in Czech. If the topic is given in English, the paper must also be submitted in English. No other language is allowed.
- All communication with the student must be from his/her school (@upol.cz) email address.
- If a student decides (for any reason) not to submit the results of his/her work (abstract and poster), he/she is obliged to inform about this in writing to hana.slovakova@upol.cz by 28 February 2025.
- The expert committees will choose the three best presentations of student scientific papers in the following sections:
1) Theoretical and Preclinical Section

- The scholarship for the SVOČ will be provided in the amount of CZK 2000 in the academic year 2024/2025. The condition for payment of the scholarship is submitting the abstract, the poster, and presenting the work at the conference. If more than one student is working on the topic, the scholarship will be divided according to the amount of work done (determined by the supervisor).
- The supervisor must have a university degree and must have an employment relationship with the UP Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and/or the University Hospital Olomouc.
