You are therefore invited to contribute to this event by submitting an abstract of your work. Four abstracts will be selected for presentations, providing an excellent opportunity to share your findings and engage with fellow epidemiologists.

Submission Guidelines:

• Topic: We welcome presentations broadly related to information bias/misclassification/measurement error, including, but not limited to: methods development, applied and descriptive examples, and use of methods to correct for such errors and biases.
• Abstract Length: Maximum 300 words
• Deadline: May 1st, 2025
• Send your abstract to: epidemiologisk.selskab@outlook.dk
• Submissions from researchers at any career level are welcomed
