Registration will close on: 8th December 2025 at 12pm (midday). This is to allow enough time for catering to be finalised (note that Early Bird registration closes on 30th November 2025).

Registration details

Early Bird reduced registration rates are available until 30th November 2025, with a concessionary rate available (for students, unwaged or retired from employment), and discounted rates for QRA members.

During registration, you can also sign up for our free early-career and mid-career workshops  on Monday 5th January.

EDI questionnaire

We encourage you to 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 2026 Annual Discussion Meeting is organised as an in-person event at the University of Brighton. Oral presentations should, where possible, be given in-person by the lead author or a co-author of the work.

The online-only registration package enables attendees to watch and ask questions at the pre-conference workshops, JQS 40th Anniversary Celebration, 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/lunches, and participation in the icebreaker event, conference dinner and field trip.
