Posters

The goal of the poster presentations is to provide researchers to showcase their work and create valuable opportunities receive feedback, and expand their network. The two poster sessions are organised on June 7 or 8. Look at the program to find out when you have your poster presentation. Each poster has its unique number that is linked to the poster board. At the day of the presentation you can place your poster on the poster board during the morning before the poster presentation. During the poster presentation please stand next to your poster to guide colleageaus throguh your poster and to answer questions. The poster can have a maximum size of A0, portrait style (see figure for guidance). More guidelines can be found in this research article.

Presentations

Oral presentations are intended to give researchers a chance to demonstrate their work, generate worthwhile opportunities to get comments, and broaden their network. There are sereval sessions that are organised during the TRI2023 meeting. Look at the program to find out when you have to present. Each session has five or six talks. Depending on the number of talks you have 15 (6 presentations in a sessions) or 20 minutes (5 presentations in a session) to present and 5 minutes for Q&A. For each session, a chairperson will oversee the session, introduce the speaker, keep track of time and lead the Q&A session. Before the session starts you should upload your PowerPoint presentation to the desktop computer and check your presentation. More guidelines can be found in this research article.

Social Program

Welcome Reception (June 6, 19:00 onwards): A reception will be hosted on the evening of the 6th June at the historical Long Room or the Old Library of Trinity College Dublin. Built between 1712 and 1732, the Long Room holds 200,000 of the Library’s oldest books. By 1801, the Library had been given the right to claim a free copy of every book published in Britain and Ireland. The Library also houses the marble busts of some of the world’s greatest philosophers and writers connected to Trinity College. The reception will be a social mixer before the start of the main conference giving delegates an informal setting to socialise and network. Please note that although attendance to the reception is free of cost, the number of guests is limited to 200, so those willing to join the reception are requested to indicate their presence during the time of registration.

Meet the Experts – Early Career Researchers Social Mixer (June 7, 18:00 – 19:00 pm): This is a social mixer for early and expert researchers to network. This is an excellent opportunity for early career researchers (PhD students and Postdocs) to not only know their peers in the field but also meet the senior researchers to discuss their research, seek advice, new projects, potential collaborations and jobs. The experts can also advice on experimental design, statistical analysis, clinical trials and other day-to-day questions that can be difficult to grasp through just research papers. This is an opportunity for budding researchers to build their professional network and grow their peer and expert networks. This free mixer will be organised at the main venue of the conference – Trinity Business School. Please note that early career researchers and experts are requested to indicate their participation during registration.

Irish night (June 8, 20:00 onwards): An informal dinner will be organised for all delegates on the evening of the 8th June at the 18th century Trinity College Dining Hall. Built between 1760 and 1770, with high ceilings and timber panelled walls, the Dining Hall provides an ambient yet vibrant atmosphere for a night of traditional Irish music and dancing. During this evening we aim to provide our guests an experience of the rich Irish culture – something to remember for the years to come! The dinner involves an informal evening of Irish food, music, drinks and dance! We request delegates to please indicate their attendance during registration along with an additional payment of 80 euros.
