Present your research poster at CNS2027

There will be a poster exhibition held during the conference with poster prizes. This is a wonderful opportunity for students, early career researchers, and other researchers to talk about your research and network with ~250 neuroscientists and industry delegates.

A group of neuroscience experts from the University of Cambridge will judge the posters, providing a unique opportunity to practice your presentation skills and receive valuable feedback on your research.

Posters can cover any of the six themes of Cambridge Neuroscience.

How to submit an abstract

Note: Abstract submissions will OPEN SOON. See below for future reference.

Any delegate will be able submit a poster abstract. To register your abstract for poster presentation (and to be considered for the Data Blitz), you will have to register your attendance as normal and select the option for presenting a poster (registration OPENS SOON). You will then receive a confirmation email that will contain a link to upload your abstract with all of the formatting guidelines (2000 characters).

You will be able to present more than one poster if you wish – submit any additional abstracts in the same way. For Cambridge Neuroscientists, it is more efficient if you are logged in when you submit your abstract because a record will be kept on your profile.

You will be informed whether your abstract is selected for the Data Blitz session at least a week before the meeting to allow you time for preparing your presentation. If you accept, we will request you submit your slides before the meeting. More information below.

Preparing your poster

Note: Registration and poster abstract submission will OPEN SOON. See below for future reference.

Poster boards will be 1 metre (w) by 2 metres (h). The optimum size for posters is A0 portrait (i.e. 841mm (w) x 1189mm (h)). Please print your posters beforehand and bring them with you ready to be put up on the day.

At the event registration, you will receive a symposium brochure where you will find your allocated poster number. Poster boards will be numbered – proceed to your poster board and hung up your poster. Velcro will be provided.

Data Blitz at CNS2027

The Data Blitz session will take place during the main programme. This is a fantastic opportunity for students and Early Career Researchers to present your poster to the wider audience and discuss your results during a short (3min) presentation.

Abstracts for the Data Blitz will be selected from submitted poster abstracts. If you are selected, you will be notified ahead of the meeting so you can prepare and practice your presentation. If you accept, we will request that you send us your presentation slides ahead of the event. Note that Data Blitz presenters will still have to present a poster.
