Submission of abstract
NordYrk 2026
We invite researchers, developers, practitioners, policymakers, experts and students to propose abstracts on their conducted or ongoing research or research-orientated development projects related to the conference theme.
The abstract submission is open from 3rd November 2025 until 31st January 2026 at 24:00 CET. Abstracts will be reviewed, and information regarding the acceptance will be delivered in February 2026 to the corresponding author indicated in each abstract submission.
Familiarise yourself with the presentation-format-specific guidelines below when preparing and submitting your abstract. Proposals can be based on completed research, development projects, or works in progress. Please, indicate this in your abstract.
Abstracts will be published in the Book of Abstracts, for which a publication permission is asked from each author separately after acceptance. The book will remain available on the NordYrk website after the conference.
Paper presentation sessions give delegates the opportunity to present their research and findings in depth. These presentations include data and results. During each session, three proposals are grouped together. Each presenter has a total of 25 minutes, comprising a 15 / 20-minute presentation followed by 10 / 5 -minute question-and-answer session.

A poster session allows authors to visually present their research or project. The poster presenters bring their poster, A0 size, to the conference and place it with the support of the conference organisers on the poster walls at the conference premises.
More detailed instructions on poster session practices will be provided once the abstract has been accepted and its place in the conference programme has been confirmed. The conference organisers will arrange the poster session in the programme based on the total number of posters to be presented.
