Also: please mention to us that you are bringing a child under 6 years.
For older children you may have to book a full ticket & package. 

Depending on how you plan your trip: If your accompanying person does not attend the congress venues, he/she may not need a ticket. If you want to be fully independent you may also drive individually and/or book separate accommodation at Saarbrücken. We offer a small number of tickets for accompanying persons who do not wish to attend the congress. Therefore, it is still possible to book accommodation, the shuttle bus and social events. We charge a fee of 40€ for any accompanying person.

You can also purchase the shuttle bus, accommodation and social events such as 2 different gala dinners on Friday and Saturday evening and breakfast on Fridays in Luxembourg, city tour with wine tasting in Strasbourg on Sunday. In addition, there are also free social events.

When booking a ticket, accommodation, bus and social events are booked at the same time. Same cancellation rules apply.

We strongly recommend booking a ticket for the forum including bus & accommodation & congress dinner. It will be fun!

You may decide for yourself what to attend. Special focus lies on the gala dinners, which we highly recommend. We are looking forward to celebrating with you.

As in any congress there will be different types of workshops/presentations. First come first serve. The keynotes have enough room for everyone. There is no need to register for a workshop.

CME points will be announced once the final program is set and the local regulatory body has made its decision.

Everyone who is presenting will receive a certificate of participation. Upon request you may receive an attendance certificate after the conference.

There are no special visas needed when traveling within the European Union. You will receive an Eventbrite booking confirmation and ticket that may be used for visa purposes (visa application).

We offer a shuttle bus service between the venues as part of the bus shuttle fee. You can also arrive on your own by car, cab or public transport. We strongly recommend that you use our shuttle service, as it is timed to coincide with the event!

The shuttle buses will pick up the participants at the hotel, take you to all locations within the cities and drop you off at the hotel again in the evening. (Shuttle bus fee). If you don't want to book the shuttle bus service you can  go on your own by car, cab or public transport. Please note that this could lead to delays for you.

On Friday evening, the shuttle buses will take you from Luxembourg to the hotel in Saarbrücken (VICTORS RESIDENZ). On Saturday: To and from the conference venue (Homburg) & to the gala dinner & back to the hotel. On Sunday morning, the buses will take you to Strasbourg.

We suggest arriving in Luxemburg and to organize departing travel from Strasbourg on Sunday afternoon/evening. The conference starts on Friday April 25th 1:30pm at University of Luxembourg and ends on Sunday April 27th at 1pm (til open end).

Luxembourg is well connected to the European rail network. You can also arrive by plane or car. We do not offer a shuttle bus back to Luxembourg.

Abstracts must be in English and adhere to specific formatting guidelines. The main part of the abstract should not exceed 250 words, and tables, pictures, or company/copyright names should not be included. Authors are also encouraged to disclose conflicts of interest. The criteria for grading include scientific quality, novelty, relevance to family medicine, and representation from multiple countries. Additionally, failing to register before November 11, 2024, will lead to abstract rejection.

The aim of a workshop is to provide an interactive forum for discussion, debate and/or the development of a specific skill. Workshops at EYFDM should be designed for early career family doctors and we welcome a range of topics, ideas and interests.

When designing your workshop, it is important to consider a number of elements, including

1. Why should anyone attend your workshop? What is the main learning objective? Try to complete the sentence "By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to...". Think about the approaches you will use to achieve your learning objective. It might be helpful to have an 'agenda' to structure your time and activities. Successful workshops leave participants feeling that they have achieved something, or that they have been challenged to think and act differently, or that they can do something new or better.

2. Think about the participants in your workshop. Find a starting point that is relevant to everyone. How many people would you like to attend the workshop?

3. Plan your time carefully and be prepared for all eventualities (e.g. very engaged participants vs. not so engaged participants). Try to create a safe space for discussion.

4. Think about the setting: Will you need resources? How will you need to set up the room?

5. Think about the evaluation of your workshop. Perhaps use online (in-workshop) evaluation tools to increase engagement, or ask participants to help develop take-home messages at the end of the workshop.
