Call for oral presentations

It is now possible to submit an abstract for a parallel session for NWO Physics 2027.

The main objective of the parallel sessions is for young researchers within the Dutch Physics community to present their work. Therefore, preference will be given to abstracts by postdocs and PhD candidates. Due to venue capacity, participation in the conference for MSc and BSc students cannot be guaranteed, therefore MSc and BSc students are not allowed to submit an abstract for an oral presentation. 

Please note that registration and abstract submission are simultaneously. There is no limitation to the number of parallel abstract submission per research group.

Register & submit an abstract

Deadline for abstract submission is 18 September 2026.

Prioritisation oral presentations 

When submitting an abstract for an oral presentation in one of the parallel session you will be asked to fill in the name of the group leader/Principal Investigator (P.I.) involved in the work to be presented. For oral presentation submissions, we ask for a short motivation from your P.I. as to why your proposal should be selected (max. 500 characters). 

Selection procedure oral presentations

Oral presentations will be selected by the programme committee after the submission deadline has passed. The selection of oral presentations is based on the following criteria:

  • The year of your PhD work/postdoc position (NB: postdoc students will receive the same prioritisation as last-year PhD candidates);
  • Whether you have previously presented at NWO Physics;
  • The short motivation provided by your P.I. regarding your oral presentation

If the number of submitted abstracts does exceed the number of available slots, the programme committee will make a selection based on the submissions per theme also taking into account the programme of the parallel sessions. We would like to point out that an abstract can be submitted EITHER for an oral (parallel-session) presentation OR for a poster presentation. Please note that in case your oral presentation is not selected, it can be converted into a poster presentation. You can indicate in the registration form whether you would like this.
