Each autumn the President invites ophthalmological clinics, research institutes and individuals to submit proposals for scientific sessions at the DOG Congress. These proposals are then examined and assessed in blind review by the members of the Programme Committee. Aided by the Programme Committee and the DOG Office, the President then compiles a draft program from the reviewed proposals.
