Open call for presentations and posters

Through the exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge, all participants contribute to BME@LiU 2026. Participants are encouraged to share their work through oral or poster presentations, fostering collective learning and growth.

We welcome presentations focused on clinical translation and initiatives to develop new technologies and methods within basic science and clinical utilization at LiU. All participants have the opportunity to submit presentations or posters. You can deliver either an individual or a collaborative (joint) research presentation. For more details on the structure and differences between them, please refer to the FAQ below. The presentations are given in parallel sessions, held simultaneously in different rooms.

Morning sessions

In the morning, we will host parallel sessions on clinical translation, covering topics in:

Novel Instrumentation and Biomaterials (anything that interacts with biological media: influences, mimics, or measures)
Data Analysis (modelling, AI, imaging. etc.)
eHealth and Clinical Implementation (app development, decision support systems, health economy, etc)

Afternoon sessions

In the afternoon, we will focus two parallel sessions covering topics in:

Health Informatics and Data Flows
Data harmonization and standardization, federated learning, multi-modal data integration (for example wearables, smart sensors, imaging, articles, medical records, social media). Hybrid and digital twin approaches to data analysis, utilization and joint analysis of large clinical databases (for example SCAPIS (Swedish CArdioPulomonary bioImage Study) and UK Biobank).

From Cells to Patients and End-Usage
Examples and networks where basic and pre-clinical research cross-talks with clinical research and eHealth implementations. Examples will include networks and showcases from liver and cardiometabolic applications, but other disease areas, such as cancer, orthopedics, etc. are also welcome

Submitting more than one presentation type?

If you would like to submit more than one presentation type (e.g. individual presentation and Research & Innovation Arena), please submit one of them here and contact us at bme.at.liu@imt.liu.se. We will help you register the second one over email.

FAQ

What is the difference between individual and collaborative (joint) research presentations?

Oral presentations are structured in two distinct formats:

Individual research presentations

Short research presentations (approximately 10-15 minutes), delivered by a single speaker, for a broad audience. This format is geared toward highlighting new ideas, discoveries, innovations, and methods.

Collaborative (joint) research presentations

These are slightly longer format talks (approximately 20-30 minutes) that provide two “perspectives” and/or contributions on addressing a research challenge. These will have two speakers from different disciplines (e.g. Basic Science + BME, BME + Clinical research, Academia + Industry). This format is geared toward highlighting collaborative, multidisciplinary efforts.

Who can submit a poster presentation?

All are welcome to submit poster presentations. These can be research group overviews or individual research projects.

Students at all levels (PhD, Master's, Bachelor's) are particularly encouraged to submit posters on their projects even if results are not complete yet. This is intended as a forum to present ideas and receive feedback on your respective projects. High school students (“gymnasieelever”) are also welcome to present their work and interact with the participants.

I wish to present a poster. What are the requirements in terms of dimension and orientation?

Detailed instructions will be sent out to the presenters a few weeks before the conference. There are no size requirements, but we ask that they are no wider than 84 cm (i.e. A0, portrait). Both landscape or horizontal format would do.

What is the Research and Innovation Arena?

Companies, research centers, initiatives, and forums are welcome to reserve tables distributed throughout the Research and Innovation Arena (Ljusgården), for free. Here, you can showcase and share what resources, technologies, and opportunities you have to offer the greater LiU community. This arena will be open all day, seeing its highest interactions during lunch and morning/afternoon fikas.

Arena participants are welcome to attend all presentation sessions, as well. Additional resources (electrical outlets, cords, etc.) may be available on a first-come, first serve basis. Contact bme.at.liu@imt.liu.se if you have any questions or specific requests.
