Consensus Conference

EAO Consensus Conference

The European Association for Osseointegration is now organising its second Consensus Conference close to Zurich, Switzerland. Consensus Conferences consist in a three-day meeting in a inspiring environment and gather a number of osseointegration experts. The meetings are completely organised by the association without any external sponsoring for a strict science driven conference. 

Consensus Conferences are organised in three of four working groups, each group being guided by a Chair and a Secretary. Rapporteurs prepare review papers as a basis for discussions in the groups. The group is expected to critically evaluate the manuscripts and modify them after acceptance by the group. Furthermore, each group produces a consensus report based on the information in the reviews and on the outcomes of the discussion. During prenary sessions, each group's consensus report is discussed and adjusted until there is a general consensus. Review papers are eventually published in the Clinical Oral Implants Research journal.
