Thank you very much to everyone who has submitted an abstract for this year's conference!
This year the amount of submitted abstracts has exceeded all expectations.
All accepted abstracts have been allocated in the programme and can be found by searching for the titles or presenting authors.
If you're unable to find your abstract, please let us know immediately.
Late submissions
Due to spatial restrictions and limitations on the programme timing, we were unfortunately neither able to extend the original submission deadline nor accept every abstract that was submitted.
We can therefore also not accept any late submissions for the VAAM conference 2026.
However, the submission system will reopen in the middle of this year for the VAAM conference in 2027, so look out for further information coming soon.

Publication
The abstracts are selected by the programme committee. Accepted abstracts will be integrated into the programme as orals or posters. All abstracts will be published in the digital abstract booklet.
