How to present at ALAN 2025
We invite you to submit abstracts for oral presentations and posters. All abstracts will go through a peer review. The acceptance rate for oral presentations was between 62% to 64% during the last 3 conferences. We therefore encourage all authors to use the space allowed for their abstract to make a compelling case for acceptance.
In the case of abstracts for oral presentations that are deemed high quality by the reviewers but cannot be accepted due to lack of speaking slots, the authors may be offered the possibility of doing a poster presentation instead.
The theme and topics covered in ALAN conferences are (for more details, click here):
- Biology and Ecology
- Health
- Measurement and Modeling
- Social Sciences & HumanitiesTechnology
- Biology and Ecology
- Technology & Design
- Governance & Regulation

Early Stage Researcher Award
A prize of €100 will be awarded to the best poster presented by an early stage researcher (maximum 3 years since PhD awarded). Posters are judged by a group of anonymous senior conference attendees (usually not including members of the steering committee). Posters are rated based on their design, the clarity and accuracy of the information provided, the novelty of the research, and the presenters ability to communicate their results orally.
Conference Proceedings
A PDF booklet of the two-page abstracts will be provided to the conference attendees, and will be made freely available online.
