BMS Research conference: november 6, 2025
In times like these, we need to come together as an academic research university.
This conference is about connections - among BMSers, between teaching and research, and with societal partners. This special day will be filled with opportunities for research-related community-building, through a variety of session formats, operating within a lean budget.
We’re truly inspired by the diversity and quality of the submissions – it promises to be a dynamic and thought-provoking event, and we hope to see you there!
Tip: Would you like to arrive fresh and energized? Try to come by bike, foot or other sustainable means!

Sessions
We’ve received a fantastic range of contributions, which have been clustered across seven conference strands: | ✨ 30 Posters |
Regardless of career stage, scope of inquiry, or role in the research process, all interested BMSers are welcome to attend and exchange ideas about their research (-related) work. Participants and presenters are encouraged to help shape sessions in ways that invite win-win benefits, i.e. informative for the receivers, and amenable to constructive feedback for the contributor(s).
Here is how the various session types work:
Participation | Type | Description | Examples |
Audience floats between concurrent offerings in one area over the course of 45-90 minutes | Poster | Poster presentations showcase a project, program, process, activity, or similar experience in a visual and interactive setting. | Sharing work methods or new projects |
Roundtable | Roundtables are designed for small group discussion of specialized topics, with the presenter leading the discussion. | Planned interventions,early experiences or initial results | |
Demo | Demos provide an opportunity to explore high-quality examples of research innovations (e.g. apps, equipment, protocols, instruments). | Administrative systems, headmounted displays (google glass) or learning support software | |
Ask-the-expert(s) | These sessions offer walk-up Q&A or helpdesk services centered on a theme of expertise. | Administrative procedures or theoretical perspectives, methodological guidance | |
Audience stays together in one area for the course of 45-90 minutes | Workshop | Workshops are intended to provide professional development opportunities that result in participants acquiring new skills. Workshops last 45 minutes. | Use of AI, healthy habits or project management |
Symposium | Symposia are curated sets of multiple contributions (e.g. papers or posters) centering on a shared theme. The set is presented and discussed in 45 minutes. | Within research themes or across research themes (work pressure, data analysis, wearables) | |
Paper | Papers are presented in traditional stand-up sessions with a focus on sharing information. Multiple papers are presented in one time slot, with each presenter having +/- 10 minutes each. | Project experiences from any stage of conception, implementation or field testing |
