Proudly hosted by the Anatomical Society, at Newcastle University

We are pleased to announce that registration for the first-ever Virtual Anatomical Society Meeting is FREE OF CHARGE to all delegates and abstract submission is open until 5pm Friday 4th December 2020.  Please see our conference FAQs for more information. The aims of Anatomical Society conferences are to promote high quality research in the anatomical sciences and anatomy education. One of the greatest strengths of the Anatomical Society is our diversity, which is exemplified by our membership and by the range of topics and speakers at our meetings.  For the first-ever Virtual Anatomical Society conference, our theme of 'Vision and Visualisation' includes symposia on 'Retinal Development and Repair' and 'Digital Visualisation in Anatomy Education' with contributions from national and international speakers. We also welcome abstracts for oral presentations, flash talks and posters on any topic in anatomical science and anatomy education.
