We especially welcome contributions that engage a wide range of perspectives to inform current ELSI work and shape its future directions. Submissions from early career scholars and trainees are also encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>Since the 7th ELSI Congress will be a hybrid event, if traveling isn\u2019t possible, we encourage you to join us online.<\/p>\n<p>Please visit the Congress website [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elsicon2026.org\">https:\/\/www.elsicon2026.org<\/a>] to learn more about session formats, abstract submission requirements, and criteria that will be used to evaluate abstracts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/elsi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/540\/2026\/01\/Announcing-the-7th-ELSI-Congress.pdf\">here<\/a> to download a PDF of this information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Abstracts are now being accepted for the 7th ELSI Congress, which will be held on June 22 \u2013 24, 2026 in Chapel Hill, NC.
