Call for Abstracts - Poster Session

 

On June 18, 2025, the annual CAPHRI Research Day will take place. Every year, a PhD-session is organized where CAPHRI PhD candidates are invited to present their research during the poster session. We would therefore like to invite PhD candidates to submit an abstract for the annual CAPHRI Research Day!

How to submit an abstract?
The abstracts can either pertain to research in progress (option 1) or completed research (option 2) and the candidate is free to select the option that fits best. The abstract can be developed by adding all details to the fixed templates for both options. The completed abstract can be submitted via email to info-phdcaphri@maastrichtuniversity.nl. The deadline for abstract submission is May 6, 2025.

Selection of your abstract Since not all posters can be displayed at the venue, we have to make a selection. Therefore, all submitted (anonymized!) abstracts will be shared with our CAPHRI Science Commission, which will then evaluate both form (meeting the format) and content aspects (level of scientific quality and societal relevance). Based on this evaluation, the 36 abstracts (4-8 per Research Line) with the highest scores will be selected and these PhD candidates will be invited to develop and present their poster. Aim and set-up of the poster session All selected posters will be displayed during the CAPHRI PhD Poster Session. The main aim of this session is to place the research of PhD candidates in the spotlight and to share this with the CAPHRI community. During this session, everybody is invited to have a look at the displayed posters, interact with the presenters, ask questions and provide feedback. As a result, this session also serves as an opportunity for PhD candidates to gather experience with a poster presentation in a safe, small-scaled setting. The poster awards   Two awards will be presented at the end of the day. Firstly, all visitors of the poster session are invited to cast their vote for the best poster and based on these votes the CAPHRI Community poster prize will be awarded. In addition, a second poster prize will be awarded by the CAPHRI Science Commission, based on their assessment of all selected posters. In order to include all posters in their assessment, we ask selected candidates to digitally share their developed poster with the members of the Science Commission on June 10th latest.  All further details regarding this submission and the poster session will be communicated when we share the results of the abstract selection.
