IUVA Abstract Submission Tracker
To help build momentum and connect the community around this year’s program, we’ve launched the IUVA Abstract Submission Tracker. This live dashboard offers a real-time view of submissions, countries represented, progress toward our goal and emerging topic trends.

We hope it provides visibility into how the program is taking shape and encourages you to contribute your work, represent your organization or region and be part of the conversations that will define the future of UV technology.

You can view the tracker here: https://iuva.org/2026-IUVA-AC-Submission-Tracker.

If you have any questions, please email IUVA.
