Apply to speak
If you're ready to inspire, empower, and lead the conversation on the future of life sciences, we invite you to apply to speak. Your contribution has the potential to shape the future of life sciences by empowering the next generation of scientists. The Minoritised Life Scientists Future Forum attracts passionate students and professionals in the field who are eager to drive meaningful change.
These attendees are seeking real-world applications, inspirational stories, and experiences that resonate with their aspirations. If you can offer insights that go beyond textbook examples and address the broader challenges and opportunities within marginalised communities in life sciences, we want to hear from you. We are particularly interested in presentations that provide fresh perspectives, inspire thoughtful dialogue, and empower participants.
The Future Forum offers two presentation formats:
Scientific Lecture (25 + 5 minutes)
Duration: 30 minutes (25 minutes maximum on the presentation, leaving at least 5 minutes for Q&A)
Description: Scientific lectures are comprehensive presentations that delve deeply into specific research topics. These talks are designed to communicate complex scientific concepts and findings in an accessible manner.
Flash Talk (10 + 5 minutes)
Duration: 10 minutes presentation + 5 minutes Q&A
Description: Flash talks are brief, high-impact presentations designed to quickly convey the essence of a research project or idea. They are perfect for sharing preliminary results, innovative concepts, or new methodologies.
Additionally, we invite you to submit your session ideas for Demonstrations/Skill-Building, Expert Panel Q&A, Workshops, Roundtable Discussions, and Career/Professional Development Sessions. These sessions should be designed to address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by marginalised and underrepresented communities in the life sciences.
At Future Forum, we believe in the power of diverse voices and experiences. Whether you are an experienced researcher or a student just beginning your journey, we encourage you to share your insights and inspire others. Our sessions are designed to be inclusive and supportive, providing a platform for meaningful dialogue and learning.
Join us at the Future Forum and be a part of this transformative event. Your participation can help shape the future of life sciences by creating a more inclusive and innovative scientific community.
