BARDES 2025

Call for abstracts

BARDES Annual Conference is accepting abstracts for the opportunity for two types of Oral Presentation.

The first is an opportunity for solely for "Novice Education Researchers" to present their work in the form of a 5 minute/5 ppt slide presentation to a friendly and supportive audience. The "Janice Ellis Prize" will be awarded for the best presentation. This will be awarded from combined scoring of the submitted abstract and the oral presentation. Please note it will not be possible to make amendments to abstracts once they have been submitted, so please ensure to submit your final draft. The slide limit includes introductory slides etc so use your slides wisely. To qualify as a Novice researcher, you must be predoctoral in Education Research or may be postdoctoral in another field of research but are "new" to Education Research. Presentations need not be of completed work ‐ they can include a research idea or projects partly completed. We aim to provide support and mentorship in the manner of a "critical friend".

Abstract submissions are also welcome for the other Oral Presentation session, inviting presenters of all experience levels to share their work in 10‐minute presentations. Presentations must be of Dental Education Research or sharing of good practice.

All oral presentations will take place on Conference Day 1, Thursday 6th November.

Please see below the link to a submission form which is the only route by which applications will be accepted. The form contains structured headings and guidance for word limit.

All abstracts must be submitted by 5pm Friday 10th October. We aim to confirm acceptance by 22nd October and all presenters MUST be registered for the conference by 31st October ‐ or their abstract will be withdrawn.
