During registration, you can also sign up for our free early career and mid-career workshops on Monday 6th January.
EDI questionnaire
Please complete the QRA EDI questionnaire during registration. A copy of the questionnaire is also available here.
The data from this short questionnaire will help the QRA to understand the characteristics of those who attend its meetings and to identify action points for the future.
Online attendance
The 2025 Annual Discussion Meeting is organised as an in-person event at Newcastle University. Oral presentations should, where possible, be given in-person by the lead author or a coauthor of the work. If your circumstances preclude in-person attendance, please contact the local organising committee (QRA2025@newcastle.ac.uk) to discuss alternative arrangements.
The online-only registration package enables attendees to watch and ask questions at the pre-conference workshops, Annual General Meeting and prize giving, keynote presentations, oral presentations, and EDI discussion session. If their abstract is allocated an oral presentation, online-only attendees will also be able to provide a pre-recorded presentation to be shown at the conference, and to engage live with audience members following their presentation.
Online-only attendance excludes delivering a poster presentation, participating in the poster sessions and coffee breaks, and participation in the icebreaker event and conference dinner.
