Review criteria

All abstracts are reviewed following a double-blind review process. Please ensure that author information is not provided in the abstract field. The notification about acceptance/rejection will be sent only to the corresponding author.

All applications will be assessed using the following selection criteria:  

• Relevance of proposed topic: How does the proposed topic align with the conference theme? What insight or benefit does the proposed topic provide to session participants regarding the theme or challenge that it addresses? 
• Relevance to ENLIGHT education principles: Does the proposal adequately take the ENLIGHT education principles the 2026 conference in Bern focuses on (see below) into account?
• Session format and planned outcomes: How does the proposed contribution align with the available session formats? What are the planned outcomes and do these align with the overall conference idea of active participant engagement? 
• Audience engagement: Is the plan for how participants will engage and interact during the session feasible? Is it congruent with the format of the session? You can look up the criteria for the different formats here.
• Student/learner perspective: Does the proposed contribution include perspectives of learners e.g. by mentioning student input/feedback or including them as co-presenters?
• Potential for expansion/scale up: To what extent can the innovative teaching practices presented be scaled up to be adopted by other ENLIGHT community members?

Following the review process, the scientific committee and the organising team may suggest a change in the format of the presentation.
