Call for abstracts

Do you want to present your research plans or research results during the Dutch Caribbean Research Week? This is your chance! You can give different types of presentations, and depending on your location, you even have the possibility to present to a live audience.

  • Poster presentation | The most common way to present your plans or results at a scientific conference. You will be given a time slot to present a digital poster using the online platform Gather, or present your poster on one of the event locations. Based on your abstract, the audience can decide whether they would like to visit your poster and discuss your work.
  • Plenary oral presentation (15 minutes) | A short oral presentation of 15 minutes. Please note that the DCRW programme committee will make a selection for oral presentations based on the submitted abstracts. You will be informed in May if you are selected.

Abstract submission deadline: Sunday 15 February 2026, 23:59:59 hours AST (Atlantic)/ 05:00:00 hours CEST for oral presentations and posters

Registration for participants

DCRW2026 is a free event. For purposes of catering we would like to know how many people are attending. Please note that you must register separately, even if you have already submitted an abstract.
