Research / Practice-Focused Works
The deadline for submitting your abstract is Tuesday 28 April 2026 (midnight GMT). Once your abstract is ready, you can submit it via the button below. Please review the guidelines carefully to maximise the quality and impact of your submission. Failure to adhere to the guidelines may result in disqualification.
In the submission form, you can select your work to be considered for (1) Literature Review, (2) Original research, (3) In Practice, or (4) Work in Progress.
For abstracts submitted as 'Research Works' or 'Practice-Focused Works', the Scientific Committee will define the format for presentation during a meeting (Oral or ePoster), depending on the evaluation of the abstract and on the relevance of work.
If your abstract is accepted for a poster presentation, you will be asked to prepare and upload a digital poster (PDF) for the conference app. Details of the submission format will be sent to you in your acceptance email. At the conference you will have 4-minutres (maximum) to present your work, with an additional minute for questions, during the parallel sessions. The poster presentations are allocated dependent on theme.

Practice-Focused Works (In Practice/ Work in Progress) format
Abstracts describing practice-based initiatives in simulation that have been developed, implemented, or are currently underway in real-world settings. These abstracts focus on application, learning, context, and impact, rather than formal research design. Abstracts should be organised as follows:
| Title: Concise and informative Context and Purpose: Brief description of the setting, context, and problem or opportunity being addressed. Clearly state the purpose of the initiative and why simulation was used.. Approach/ Description of Practice: Description of what was developed or implemented, including: the simulation modalities or approaches used; the population(s) involved; key design or delivery features; any partnerships, collaborations or co-production. Learning, Outcomes, and/or Impact: Description of what was learned; changes observed in practice, understanding, behaviour, systems, or experience; perceived or measured impact (where available). (For Work in Progress, describe early insights, emerging learning, or anticipated impact) Reflections and Transferability: Brief reflection on: What worked well and what was challenging; key insights for others; how the approach might be adapted or transferred to other contexts References: Up to three, cited in Vancouver format Figure/Table: One figure/table can be included |
