We now invite you to submit an abstract for either a poster or a talk.  All Antarctic topics are welcome. 

The topics will be mixed across the days so that we learn about all the aspects of Antarctic science.  Your challenge is for your talk to be understood by us all.  

Communication theme: 

As well as bringing the community together to share the latest science, a key theme will be how we communicate it. Communicating science in plain language is crucial for bridging the gap between complex scientific research and practical decision-making. For policymakers, clear and accessible scientific information is essential to creating informed policies that address societal challenges such as tackling climate change. When scientific findings are conveyed in straightforward terms, it enables policymakers to grasp the implications of research swiftly and accurately, fostering evidence-based decisions that can effectively benefit society. In addition, plain language communication empowers the public to engage with scientific issues, enhancing trust in scientific institutions, and encouraging public support for science-driven initiatives and the understanding they provide.

We urge you to keep your talks and posters succinct, focusing on the scientific question, what you did, the results, and the "so what" question.

Presentations can be as short talks or simple posters.  To accompany your talk or poster, please submit a detailed abstract (see below).  All abstracts will be available online, even if your presentation cannot be accommodated.

Even if you do not wish to present, you can submit a detailed abstract that will be available online.

Talks should be strictly 10 minutes. Time will be allowed for discussion.

Posters should be A3 size (landscape), in a simple format accessible to a non-technical audience and replicated as one PPT slide for a quickfire presentation of one minute.   Please keep the message simple - a title, the question you are answering, what you did, the outcomes and impact, plus 1 diagram if you wish.

However, if you feel to confined by the A3 format you may submit an A2 sized poster(double A3), in landscape, but please keep it simple. N.B. the detail of your project should be included in the abstract online. 

Abstracts: Please present scientific detail of your project in an extended abstract. (Up to 500 words, plus diagrams). These will be presented online only.
