Event description

Join us for a whirlwind tour of the abstract writing process and learn how to write an engaging abstract.

If the thought of squeezing months or years of practice and learning into 250 words is overwhelming, you’re not alone! Ahead of NADA’s 2023 Conference: Creating safe spaces, NADA has partnered with the Matilda Centre to share some tips on writing the best abstract and showcasing your work.

Who should attend?

Anyone intending to submit an abstract for the upcoming NADA conference, those who haven’t written an abstract in a while (or ever), and anyone who has any questions about what an abstract should contain.

What will I learn?

  1. Choosing the right abstract type
  2. The requirements of a conference abstract
  3. How to approach and plan your abstract
  4. Writing for your audience
  5. Discussing method
  6. What to leave out and common errors
  7. How to ‘sell’ the importance of your research or practice
