5th Annual RENT Abstract Writing Workshop
April 22 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm UTC+2

This interactive workshop taking place online on Wednesday 22 April 2026 at 14:00-16:30 CEST offers support on writing an abstract to RENT Conference to be organised in Antwerp on 18-20 November 2026.

About this event

Do you want to submit to RENT in Antwerp this year? And have you…

• already planned to submit, but need some feedback (especially if it is one of the first times that you submit to the RENT)?
• considered a submission, but are not sure whether your work is a good fit for the RENT?
• a first draft or sketch of your submission and want to further work on it with your peers?

If any of these conditions apply to you, join us for this year’s Abstract Writing Workshop! Together, we will meet on Wednesday 22 April 2026 at 14:00-16:30 CEST online via Zoom and first, get some tips from experienced ECSB members to improve the chances of our submission. While this provides a good point to get started, the majority of this workshop will be spent writing the abstract, getting and giving feedback and jointly reflecting our writing process with support from experienced advisors.

With this interactive workshop, we aim to contribute to high-quality submissions of extended abstracts for the RENT and, from an individual participant’s perspective, we will get some writing done. This workshop entails:

• Expert’s advice on abstract writing for the RENT
• Working individually on your writing
• Reflecting together in small groups
• Giving and receiving feedback from experienced advisors
• Discuss challenges with experts and colleagues

This means that this is an actual workshop in which you will actually work on your own abstracts. To get the most out of this, please prepare a draft version of your abstract beforehand. This can be a rough sketch in bullet points, but bring along a version that you can further work on.
