RDF25 Call for Abstracts for Posters

Events

The R&D Forum Programme Content Group is inviting abstracts for posters for RDF25: The 2025 R&D Forum conference. The conference will be held from 18th to 20th May 2025 at the Manchester Central Convention Complex.

Please note: The call for oral abstracts is now closed. We are currently only accepting abstracts for posters.

Abstracts for posters that are accepted by the Programme Content Group will be invited to display their poster throughout the event. Authors should be prepared to stand by and discuss their poster with delegates during the breaks. This provides presenters with an excellent opportunity to interact with delegates and to see other posters in the same theme. As a general rule, posters should be vibrant and visually stimulating with clear aims, objectives and a take home message for the community.

Submission deadline (Abstracts for posters): 1 November 2024 (FRI)
Conference dates: 18 May 2025 (SUN) to 20 May 2025 (TUE)
