Disclosure policy: UEG is committed to ensuring scientific rigour and objectivity in all of its educational activities. These include all aspects of the educational programme at UEG Week including those that are directly and jointly sponsored activities.

All presenters, whether invited Faculty or abstract presenters, are required to disclose to those organising and attending meetings any relevant financial or other relationship that may lead to a potential bias. UEG reserves the right to review the information disclosed for potential conflicts of interest. Please note that the sole responsibility for the content of each presentation lies with the presenting author.

The UEG Scientific Committee requires all presenters to disclose any advisory or consultancy roles in the Biomedical Industry during the past two years. These and any other potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed verbally during introductory comments to the presentation. Invited speakers and oral abstract presenters are requested to disclose potential conflicts of interest on a PowerPoint slide to be shown immediately at the beginning of the presentation. Poster presenters are requested to disclose potential conflicts of interest at the bottom of their poster.

Conflicts of interest may exist through a financial relationship or when the individual has the opportunity to influence the content of a presentation, and can involve grants, honoraria, shares, paid positions on advisory boards, etc. Conflicts of interest are frequent and expected, and do not preclude an individual from making a presentation providing the conflict is disclosed. If there is any doubt about the relevance of a potential conflict of interest UEG requires all presenters to err on the safe side and to disclose it.
