Call for abstracts

We invite PhD students to submit an abstract for an oral presentation during the PhD Community Session. We particularly encourage abstracts that present the overall framework of your PhD project, including its background, objectives, methods, and perspectives, although other submissions are also welcome.

Submission deadline

The deadline for abstract submission is May 1st 2026 (23h59 CEST), with feedback regarding acceptance/non-acceptance by 15th May 2026.

How to submit your abstract?

All abstracts must be submitted by email to felipe.balistierisantinelli@uhasselt.be and a.gravesteijn@amsterdamumc.nl in .doc or docx format and should be written in English.

Submission requirements:

• References, tables or figures are not allowed
• No symbols or specific formatting
• The body of the abstract should be limited to maximum 300 words
• The subject should treat the results of a specific research project, including reviews. However, original data are preferred
• In addition, there should be a running title submitted with a maximum of 45 characters
• All abstracts have to be submitted by the presenting author.
• If the abstract has more than one author, the main author should be clearly identified (fe: label: 'main author:')

Not a PhD student?

Please share this opportunity with your network and PhD students who may be interested in presenting their work at the 31st Annual RiMS Conference.

Please note: Registration is required despite an abstract submission.

We look forward to seeing you all!
