Abstracts

Congress delegates are invited to submit abstracts of their work for presentation as a poster communication at the XXXIX Nordic Congress in Clinical Chemistry, 17-20 September 2024, Stockholm, Sweden. There will be two main abstract tracks for this congress: Scientific and Development and Improvements.  

Submissions of abstracts across the whole spectrum of clinical chemistry are welcome. During abstract submission you will be asked to select one topic from a list of categories that best describes the content of your abstract. The topics will be used for reviewing and indexing purposes, and assignment of poster display at the event. 


For the first time in the history of NCCC, we are proud to introduce the innovative abstract track of Development and Improvements. The imperative of refining laboratory operations cannot be overstated, as it plays a pivotal role in elevating efficiency, precision, and safety. The Development and Improvements track positions itself as a catalyst for positive change within laboratories by encouraging a mindset that values ongoing refinement, proactive adaptations to emerging challenges and enhancement of the overall capabilities of the laboratory. Here we take a step back from standard scientific publication format to make room for a broader perspective to harness the collective intelligence and experience of all within the clinical chemistry laboratory discipline. This to ensure the inclusion of all types of expertise to promote innovative solutions and practices.

We are also excited to announce that, in recognition of outstanding contributions, there will be awards for the best abstracts within each of the two main tracks of the conference – Scientific and Development and Improvements. This initiative aims to celebrate and encourage excellence in research and innovation.

The awards are as follows:

First Prize: €1000
Second Prize: €500
