Presentation Formats

Five different ways of presenting

Presenting

Symposia

Symposia are designed to capture a coherent set of three to four individual presentations that center on one theme within health research. The speakers address in depth an issue or a question of particular relevance. Symposia typically place individual experiences or research results in a broader context and allow time for interaction between the presenters and discussion amongst the group.

  • The available time is 75 minutes.
  • Symposia should consist of a short introduction by the chairperson, three or four speakers and a general discussion.
  • At least 15 minutes should be reserved for the general discussion and interaction with the audience. For this purpose, a discussant may be proposed.
  • Please be aware that a symposium should consist of presentations from different authors from at least two different institutions.
  • The two best rated oral presentations of the conference will receive the ‘ARPH Oral presentation award’ – one for each day.

Oral presentation

Oral presentation abstracts may describe research projects on any subject within health psychology. Oral presentations will be organized in thematic sessions.

  • Please note that while it is acceptable to submit abstracts with preliminary rather than full results available, a lack of results limits the ability of reviewers to fully assess the impact/significance of the work, and such submissions are likely to receive lower scores. Submissions without any results will not be accepted.
  • If your abstract does not qualify for an oral presentation but is still considered of sufficient quality, you will have the opportunity to present it as a poster.
  • The two best rated oral presentations of the conference will receive the ‘ARPH Oral presentation award’ – one for each day.

Poster presentation

Poster presentation abstracts may describe research projects on any subject within health psychology. Poster presentations will be organized in two poster sessions.

  • Please note that while it is acceptable to submit abstracts with preliminary rather than full results available, a lack of results limits the ability of reviewers to fully assess the impact/significance of the work, and such submissions are likely to receive lower scores.
  • The presenter of the top rated poster will receive the ‘ARPH Poster Award’.

Round tables

Round table sessions can be used for a more interactive sessions-involving the audience. For example, for setting up a research network for an innovative methodology, or to determine a research agenda on a specific topic.

  • The available time is 75 minutes.
  • Round tables should consist of (a) short introduction(s) by one or more chairpersons and a general discussion, if needed in smaller groups.
  • A clear outcome of the session should be established, e.g. a research network, or new research questions on the topic of the round table.
  • One round table initiator prepares a 250 word max proposal and additionally include (max 50 words) a note on how this round table aims to build bridges for health.

Demonstration

Specific sessions can be submitted for innovative presentations using advanced technology to highlight some aspect of research work in health psychology. Authors are invited to present their content using technology to highlight a technology-based intervention, app or website.
