• Workshops may last 2 hours, half a day or a full day, and will be held [before the congress on 27 October 2027 / during the congress days]. Each workshop is led by one or more instructors, with one designated as the coordinator who submits the proposal and acts as the contact person.
• Formats can range from cadaveric dissection and prosection sessions to ultrasound or imaging practice, 3D modelling and virtual reality, surgical approach demonstrations, or teaching-skills workshops for anatomy educators. Whatever the format, at least half of the session time should be practical or interactive rather than lecture-based.
• Submitting a proposal is free of charge. Participant fees for accepted workshops will be set by the Congress.
• All instructors will attend the congress in person if the workshop is accepted, and will complete their registration (free of charge for workshop instructors) by 31 May 2027.

• Workshop title (up to 20 words, no abbreviations)
• Coordinator and instructors: name, institution, country, email address and a short note on each instructor’s expertise
• Main topic: which congress main topic the workshop fits
• Scope and target audience (up to 200 words): what the workshop covers, who it is designed for (students, residents, surgeons, anatomists, educators) and the expected level (introductory or advanced)
• Learning objectives (3 to 5 points, up to 100 words): what participants will be able to do or understand by the end
• Content and activities (up to 200 words): the practical steps of the session and how time will be divided between demonstration and hands-on work
• Maximum number of participants
• Preferred duration and timing
• Equipment and facilities: specimens, instruments, software, ultrasound or imaging systems, workstations and any other requirements, with a note on whether equipment will be provided by a company
• Cadaveric material, if needed: type (fresh-frozen, embalmed, Thiel, prosected specimens), body region, and number of specimens or stations

Workshops involving human tissue will follow the body donation regulations of the host institution and the ethical principles of the anatomical community. The number of cadaver-based workshops will be limited by the availability of material and facilities, so organisers are asked to describe their needs as precisely as possible. Photography and video recording of donor material will not be permitted unless explicitly approved by the host institution.

Each proposal is evaluated independently by two members of the Scientific Committee, considering:

• Relevance to anatomy and to the selected main topic
• Clarity of the learning objectives
• Share of hands-on or interactive work
• Feasibility of the requested facilities, equipment and material
• Overall educational quality (score 1-10), with a recommendation to accept or decline

The Committee may suggest changes to duration, participant numbers or equipment before final acceptance.

Workshops should address at least one of the following:

• Anatomical Sciences Education
• Artificial Intelligence and Digitalization in Anatomy
• Surgical and Clinical Anatomy
• Imaging in Anatomy
• Neuroscience and Cell Biology
• Ethics, Law, Forensics and Medical Humanities
• Histology and Developmental Anatomy/Embryology

By submitting a proposal, the coordinator confirms that:

1. All instructors have agreed to the submission and to the content of the proposal.
2. All instructors will attend the congress in person if the workshop is accepted, and will register by 31 May 2027.
3. Only proposals submitted through the online submission system by 17 May 2027, 23:59 Türkiye time (UTC+3) will be reviewed.
4. Any commercial support for equipment or materials has been declared in the proposal.
5. The proposal is written in English and has been carefully checked for language and spelling.
