PD Sessions @ Zoom #4: How to write a conference abstract.

PD Sessions @ Zoom:
How to write a conference abstract.
Wednesday 23 June 12PM - 1PM AEST - New Date

Preparing an abstract for a conference is an important skill for research professionals. The purpose of the abstract is to summarise the major aspects of what you plan to present to your audience - so it's important to write a concise abstract that does your intended paper justice. Your abstract will determine acceptance by the conference organising committee and will also determine whether those attending the conference attend your session or visit your poster - so learning to write an abstract is pretty important. The session will share with attendees some key tips on how to write a clear and concise abstract that improves the chances of the abstract being selected by the conference organising committee and targets your intended audience.
