The Understanding Society Biomarker Conference will be held on 15th March 2017 at RIBA, London, to give researchers the opportunity to showcase their current and ongoing work based on Understanding Society biomarker data.
Researchers from all disciplines are invited to submit relevant abstracts; work in progress is welcome with plenty of opportunities on the day for feedback and discussion. The call for abstracts is now open and closes at midnight (GMT) on Friday 2nd December 2016. Abstracts will be reviewed by the conference organising committee and authors of successful submissions will be notified by mid-January 2017.
Abstract submission guidelines
- Abstracts must be based on analysis of the Understanding Society biomarker data (Waves 2-3); use of other Understanding Society data (from earlier or later Waves) is encouraged but not required.
- Abstracts from all disciplines are welcomed.
- Structured abstract must have a maximum of 250 words with the following headings: Background, Objectives, Methods, Results, Conclusion.
- Abstract titles should not exceed 25 words and all authors’ affiliations (including emails) should be listed (not included in the abstract word count).
- Abstracts based on ongoing analysis are welcome as long as the analysis is completed by the time of the conference so results can be presented.
- Please spell out all acronyms the first time you used them.
- Successful abstracts will be invited for oral presentations (20 minutes +10 minutes Q&A).
Researchers and students interested in attending the conference to learn of the most current research using Understanding Society biomarker data can register for free from January 2017.
