Oral abstracts

Submit an oral/paper abstract if you wish to be considered for an oral presentation and associated published paper by 14 December 2026. A full research paper containing new unpublished resulsts always accompanies oral presentations at Faraday Discussions. The oral/paper abstract should outline current research in progress. Authors of the selected abstracts must then submit a full research paper with a significant amount of new, unpublished work,听by听26 April 2027.

The research papers are reviewed upon submission and are sent to all delegates 4 weeks before the meeting so they can be read in advance. At the meeting the presenting author is allowed five minutes to highlight the main points of their paper, and the rest of the time is for discussion. The discussion is recorded and will be published alongside the research paper in the听Faraday Discussions听惫辞濒耻尘别.听

Poster abstracts

Submit a poster abstract by听5 Julu 2027. Posters are displayed throughout the meeting and a poster session is held on the first evening.听 A poster prize will be awarded to the best student poster presented at the conference.

Additional information

All oral and poster abstracts will be reviewed by the committee. Authors will be notified of the outcome of the review process within about 6 weeks of the submission deadline. The abstracts should be no longer than one A4 page in portrait layout. Please ensure you provide the details of the presenting author and indicate whether you are submitting an abstract for oral or poster presentation.
