Your platform for professional exchange and networking
The annual Day of Research is a forum for doctoral students of the Medical Faculty of the University of Duisburg-Essen as well as for doctoral students in the natural sciences who are employed at the University Hospital Essen or the University of Duisburg-Essen. It is a great opportunity to get valuable impulses for your work – from scientists of all career levels. Do not miss the chance to develop new and interesting research ideas, expand your network and push your career!
This year, there will be multiple opportunities to do so: In addition to the exchange during the poster presentations, there will be a "Meet the Expert" session during lunch break and in the afternoon. There you can get to talk directly to senior scientists. You will receive detailed information about the participating senior scientists by e-mail before the event.
This year's Research Day is themed In the afternoon, keynote speaker Dr. Barbara Marte, senior editor at NATURE, will provide insights into the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence in publishing. In the following panel discussion, she will debate this topic with young researchers from our funding programs, among others. We strongly encourage you to ask questions and join the discussion. If you prefer, you may send us your questions via e-mail in advance, or ask them directly during the panel.
Afterwards, Dr. Marte will also be available for further questions and conversations during the second "Meet the Expert" session.
We would like to thank the Stiftung Universitätsmedizin for financially supporting the event.
Presenting your Research
On the Day of Research you will have the opportunity to present your project to an internal panel of reviewers, who will then ask you questions and evaluate the individual presentations. For this purpose, please prepare a poster on your research project.
The review sessions will be divided into groups. However, you will also have the opportunity to visit other sessions and take a look at your fellow students’ presentations. This may open up new perspectives or even lead to new collaborations for you.
NEW! Patient-oriented research Please note that this year there will be an additional category for the poster presentations. For the first time, we will award a prize for patient-oriented research. So please make sure that you select the correct category for your thesis (patient-oriented, basic research-oriented or disease-oriented) upon registration! The best presentations in each group will be rewarded with €250!
Important note
Please register by 3 October 2023 at the latest, including an abstract of your research project. Please note that your registration is binding.
