What's the SVRI Forum All About?
The SVRI Forum 2026 (find more information on their website) is a crucial event, bringing together experts from around the world. It's a space to share evidence, practical knowledge, and innovative solutions to prevent and respond to violence.
Why Submit an Abstract?
The Call for Abstracts is your opportunity to share your work and contribute to the global effort to combat violence. The forum emphasizes evidence-based, ethical, and impactful work, particularly from low- and middle-income countries. There are opportunities for various presentation formats, including oral, poster, panel, and short-format presentations.
Types of Abstract Submissions:
Research / Programme / Practice-Based Abstracts (Single Submissions): These abstracts focus on a single piece of work, whether it's research, program implementation, or practice-based knowledge. They are reviewed individually and are ideal for those presenting findings from a specific project.
Panel Abstracts (Group Submissions): These are coordinated submissions that explore a shared theme through multiple perspectives. They require one overarching panel abstract and individual abstracts from each panelist.
Important Considerations for Panel Submissions:
- A single abstract covering the entire panel is not acceptable.
- Panels based on a single study or project will not be considered.
- Panel slots are highly competitive and limited.
- The SVRI reserves the right to merge, split, or adjust panels.
How to Submit Your Abstract:
Submissions are managed through Oxford Abstracts, the official platform for SVRI Forum 2026. The process involves creating a user profile, completing the abstract online, and submitting it. You can edit your abstract while it's incomplete, but finalized submissions cannot be changed. For any changes after submission, contact [email protected].
Abstract Format and Content Requirements:
- Maximum Length: 350 words
- Working Title: Up to 25 words
- Written in clear, accessible, and plain language.
- The abstract should clearly outline the purpose, methods, key findings, and relevance of your work.
Presentation Formats:
You can indicate your preferred presentation format, including oral presentations (research, program/practice-based knowledge, or panel), four-minute presentations, and poster presentations. However, the Scientific Committee will make the final decisions on presentation formats.
Abstract Review Criteria:
Your abstract will be assessed based on several criteria, including relevance, clarity, methods, significance, contribution, context, and ethics.
Ethical Considerations:
The SVRI Forum 2026 prioritizes ethical research practices. Abstracts must demonstrate ethical approval, participant protection measures, informed consent, and risk management. Abstracts lacking sufficient ethical consideration may not be accepted.
Sponsorship and Partnership Opportunities:
The SVRI Forum 2026 is more than just a conference; it's a global platform driving evidence-based action to end violence. Fundraising efforts aim to ensure accessibility and inclusion for participants globally, strengthen participation from underrepresented regions, and enhance the Forum’s impact on global policy and practice.
