As last year, we expect an exciting line-up that will showcase engaging science from health and life sciences research. All doctoral students are encouraged to participate. Early career researchers will have the opportunity to present and discuss their own research in the form of a poster, poster and flash talk, or selected short talk.
Preliminary program:
Morning: Impulse talk, selected short talks, flash talks, poster sessions A&B, workshops
Afternoon: Inaugural Ceremony and Presentations by Medical Faculty Early Career Researchers
Included: Snack lunch, coffee breaks and afternoon get-together

Abstract submission guidelines:
Abstracts should be at most 200 words and be written in English; there is no lower word limit. If this is your first abstract, you may find inspiration here.
Any doctoral student (Dr. sc. hum., Dr. med., Dr. med. dent., Dr. rer. nat.), postdoc, clinician scientist or MSc student, no matter the stage of their research, can submit an abstract. During the registration process, you can choose between poster only or poster and flash talk (a 3-minute teaser of your poster) and indicate whether you would like to be considered in the selection for the four short talks. Presenters of a short talk may, if they wish, also present a poster. All those who have submitted an abstract will be notified within three weeks of the abstract submission deadline for which mode of presentation they have been selected.
Posters: poster boards will fit posters up to size A0 in portrait orientation. Pins are provided to mount posters to the boards. Mounting posters is possible from 08:30 onwards. Posters must be up by 10:30 and need to be removed between 17:00 and 18:30. Please note that the STMM cannot cover printing costs or print posters.
Poster award: all posters will be evaluated for a poster award:
- Best scientific poster: evaluated by a jury of principal investigators, this award is given for scientific merit.
- Best poster design: evaluated by the audience, this award is given for visual appeal, clarity, and design.
