General information
Abstracts online
Abstracts will be available online and not in the printed programme book
As part of our commitment to environmental responsibility, the DFSG has chosen to publish all conference abstracts exclusively online. By reducing our reliance on printed materials, we aim to significantly cut down on paper consumption, printing emissions, and transportation-related environmental impact.
This digital approach not only supports our sustainability goals but also offers greater accessibility—allowing you to search, bookmark, and reference abstracts conveniently from any device.
We thank you for supporting our efforts to make DFSG 2025 a more sustainable event.
You can access the abstracts in 2 ways: As a pdf version of the abstract book as you know it from DFSG Conferences. This will be available appr. 2 weeks before the conference. Or in the online programme where you can read individual abstracts within each session.
Anti-harassment policy

The DFSG has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment of any kind, including, without limitation, sexual harassment, bullying, physical intimidation, or discrimination of any kind.
