ECA 25

ECA Conference Ethos

Give a platform to early career anatomists to share work, ideas, and insights.
Accept abstracts from a range of topics and levels of experience. You do not need to be research active to submit abstracts to this conference. We encourage anyone to submit whether you are a student, academic, technician, clinician or other.
Provide a friendly and unintimidating environment to network with other anatomists.
Improve your confidence in presenting your work at conferences and help you build your communication skills.
