The central theme of the conference will be “Paleopathology and its impact on medicine and society” and it will focus on the importance of both scientific achievements and public outreach. We welcome the abstracts for podium and poster presentations in the following topics:

Abstracts shall be submitted until April 30, 2022 and they will be peer-reviewed by the Scientific Committee. We also encourage to submit proposals for symposia and workshops which shall offer an opportunity to present and discuss research on a particular topic (half-day or less). Selected symposia and /or workshops will take place either in the main venue of the meeting or Faculty of Medicine (Vilnius University) if they include an educational component and hands-on teaching opportunity.
We look forward to seeing you in Vilnius in 2022!
