Every abstract was evaluated in the first round by 2 international GRAND SIGHTSEEING TOUR
reviewers (cca 150 from all over the world, out of them some 40
Czechs). We are very grateful for excellent work international
reviewers did for the success of the Prague conference! On top,
in the second round, all abstracts were scrutinised by one or two Czech superreviewers. This
thorough evaluation process with rejection rate cca 10% give us certainty that workshops, oral
presentations and posters will be of a good quality. As we promised before all authors (successful
or unsuccessful) will be notified by the end of February.
Starting mid March the scientific committee will be creating final programme which is planned in
17 parallel sesions for 3,5 days of the conference. For this we would need help to chair all of the
sessions and we wish to get much international support. We hope that most of the reviewers will
be present as chairs but any GP or family physician willing to be active as chair would be welcome
