You can now submit your papers and register for our Preparing Your Conference Paper Online Workshop 2025, presented by the BAM Academic Affairs of Conference and Capacity Building (AAC&CB) Sub Committee on Monday 20th January 2025 from 09:45 - 13:00 GMT.
Our well-established and popular annual workshop for Doctoral and Early Career Researchers returns with a ‘hands-on’ session to enable ECRs to successfully transform part of their research into a paper. We also help you prepare for high quality conferences such as the BAM2025 as well as build a strong basis for future publications.
Within a safe environment, participants will be able to experiment with their writing style, receive feedback from well-renowned academics to improve and develop their conference paper.
