Call for abstracts

The central theme is to keep things current, build inter-disciplinary collaboration and bring benefit from the diverse expertise in our community.

They want oral presentations to be about recent, ongoing and future research that could be a:

• Finished a project that we need to hear about
• Work in progress that could benefit from added-value
• Data conundrum that needs a fresh pair of eyes
• Grant / fellowship idea that needs constructive feedback
• Piece of technology or methodology that could benefit others

Poster presentations can focus on any of these aspects, but we would also welcome submissions on past work.

Oral communications will be 10 mins with 5 mins of questions to keep things snappy and interactive. Poster sessions will be curated to showcase each group’s research focus to facilitate networking and cross-collaboration. Their grant panel session will feature funding panel members from across disciplines and give you an opportunity to sound out ideas with the research community.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 31 January 2018
