Guidance on industry attendance and submission

SRNT defines the tobacco industry as any company that manufactures/distributes combustible tobacco products and any company or organisation that is a wholly or partially owned subsidiary. Tobacco industry employees and employees of wholly or partially owned subsidiaries are not allowed to attend or present. Employees from companies whose intellectual property is owned fully or partially by the tobacco industry are also not permitted to attend or present at SRNT. E-cigarette and other nicotine product companies not affiliated with the tobacco industry are not defined as part of the tobacco industry. Consultants are allowed to present and attend. If they are presenting research they must disclose funding sources.

Poster Prize

A new poster prize will be awarded at the SRNT-E 2023 conference for an early career researcher demonstrating research excellence in memory of Mateusz Zatoński who sadly died in January 2022 (“the Mateusz Zatoński poster prize”). Mateusz was a highly talented and well-respected tobacco control and public health researcher, an exceptional colleague and a wonderful person.

Travel Awards (application closed)

Four merit-based awards will be available to support participation in the SRNT Europe 2023 conference in London. The awards will go to early career researchers - these are open to those who are currently doing their PhD or those who completed their PhD after April 2018. The awards will include 1,000 Euros and free registration to the conference and conference dinner. Applicants must be presenting at the meeting (either oral or poster presentation).

Note: as applicants will not be notified about the outcome of their application until after the early bird deadline for conference registration, we will honour the reduced registration fee for those applicants who apply for an early career travel award but who are unsuccessful. Successful applicants will receive free registration. Therefore, if you are applying for an early career travel award, please do not register for the conference until after you have been notified about the outcome of your travel award.

Instructions for workshops and symposium submissions

Accordion Arrow

Workshops - submission open until July 31, 2023

For workshops please submit your proposal within the 350 word limit. You can use any format you like but we encourage you to provide detail on the timing and relevance of the workshop, the learning objective, and who you would encourage to attendPlease send your workshop proposal to Sharon Cox (s.cox@ucl.ac.uk).

Symposia - submission closed

Selected symposia examine important issues from a variety of perspectives and have compelling supporting data. Over a 90-minute period, three or four speakers and a discussant present and/or debate alternative solutions, interpretations, or viewpoints on a body of knowledge. Please note that symposium submissions will be reviewed on a competitive basis and not all symposium proposals will be included in the final programme. Preference will be given to symposia that are particularly timely, involve diverse research groups, or span a number of disciplines around the same unifying theme. Again this year, individual symposium presenters will have the option of having their abstract considered as an oral or poster presentation if the overall symposium is not selected for presentation at the meeting.
