Abstract instructions

When preparing your abstract:

  1. Use the following template: Abstract template 2026–2027 (remember to download the template before modifying it!)
  2. Submit your abstract as a PDF document using this form by 7 December 2026

 

Write a structured abstract of no more than 250 words. Please address the following elements in a coherent text; subheadings are not required:

  • Background, motivation, or problem addressed
  • Aim of the work
  • Key methods
  • Main results or expected outcomes
  • Main conclusions and significance

Unlike a discipline-specific conference, MET Research Days brings together researchers with diverse backgrounds and expertise across medicine, biosciences, biotechnology, biomedical engineering, and health technology. Please aim to make the abstract and presentation accessible to colleagues outside your immediate field while maintaining scientific accuracy.

Keywords

Provide 2–5 additional keywords that help event participants identify the topic and content of your work.

Mandatory classification keywords will be selected separately in the submission form. These keywords will be used to assign abstracts to appropriate reviewers and to group posters in the poster exhibition.

Collaboration keywords (optional)

This year, the abstract template includes a separate Collaboration keywords section.

Provide 3–10 keywords describing expertise, methods, technologies, datasets, facilities, resources, or application areas that could be of interest to potential collaborators.

Consider highlighting aspects of your work that may be relevant to researchers from other disciplines, such as methods, technologies, data, facilities, expertise, or application areas that could support future collaborations.
