Call for Abstracts: Submission deadline: 20 November 2025
Decision making forms a key part of the research trajectory, influencing every stage of the research process from initial concept to dissemination of the findings. This conference focuses on developing criticality and confidence in decision making with the aim of supporting ECRs at all stages to further develop as independent researchers. Topics explored at this conference will include building confidence about decision making in research, presenting and justifying decisions in the Viva examination and tackling imposter syndrome.

We invite you to present and reflect on the decision made in a 10-minute presentation. This may include consideration of alternatives you considered, the rationale and justification for the choice, its coherence with your broader research project, and reflections on the success of the decision. We hope that providing this space for critical reflection on your chosen decision will provide a supportive and encouraging environment and provide an opportunity to gain peer support and be inspired by the experiences of other ECRs at different stages.
