The SVRI Forum 2026 is an exciting opportunity for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates to come together and share their insights on violence against women, children, and other forms of gender-based violence. This global forum, one of the most prestigious in its field, is now accepting abstracts for presentation, offering a unique platform to showcase evidence-based, ethical, and impactful work.
Unveiling the Power of Knowledge: A Global Call for Action
The Call for Abstracts is a chance to contribute to the prevention, response, and policy reform efforts in areas affected by violence. It's an invitation to share your expertise, whether it's research findings, practical knowledge, or innovative approaches.
Here's a breakdown of what you need to know:
- Abstract Submission Status: Open and ready for your contributions!
- Deadline: Don't miss the opportunity - abstracts must be submitted by 30 January 2026.
- Languages: English, Spanish, and French are accepted.
Key Features of the Call:
- A rigorous peer-review process led by the SVRI Scientific Committee ensures only the best contributions are presented.
- The focus is on evidence-based work with a strong ethical foundation and real-world impact.
- We particularly encourage contributions from low- and middle-income settings, as these insights are often overlooked but crucial.
- You can choose from various presentation formats, including oral, poster, panel, and short-format presentations.
Types of Abstract Submissions:
- Research/Programme/Practice-Based Abstracts (Single Submissions): These abstracts describe a single project or initiative. They can cover research, programme implementation, or practice-based knowledge. While multiple authors are welcome, only one abstract is submitted, and it will be reviewed on its own merits.
- Panel Abstracts (Group Submissions): These are coordinated submissions exploring a shared theme or research question from multiple perspectives. Each panelist submits an individual abstract, and the panel must demonstrate diversity in institutions, regions, or sectors, with a clear thematic coherence.
Abstract Submission Process:
- Abstracts are submitted through Oxford Abstracts, the official platform for SVRI Forum 2026.
- You'll need to create a user profile and complete the abstract online.
- You can edit your abstract until it's marked as complete, after which no further changes are allowed.
- For any changes to completed abstracts, email [emailprotected].
Abstract Format and Content:
- Keep it concise: abstracts should be a maximum of 350 words.
- Provide a working title of up to 25 words.
- Write clearly and accessibly, ensuring your abstract can stand alone as a comprehensive review.
- Clearly outline the purpose, methods, key findings, and relevance of your work.
Presentation Formats:
- Choose your preferred presentation style: oral (for research or programme/practice-based knowledge), as part of a panel, or as a four-minute presentation. You can also opt for a poster presentation.
- The final decision on presentation format rests with the Scientific Committee.
Abstract Review Criteria:
- Relevance: How well does your work align with key themes and current debates?
- Clarity and Purpose: Are your objectives and focus clearly articulated?
- Methods: Is your methodology and analysis rigorous and appropriate?
- Significance: How important and applicable are your findings or outcomes?
- Contribution: Does your work offer practical recommendations for future research, policy, or programming?
- Context: Is your work relevant to low- and middle-income or resource-poor settings?
- Ethics: Does your research demonstrate a commitment to ethical practices?
Ethical Considerations:
SVRI Forum 2026 prioritizes care, safety, and responsible research practices. Ensure you have ethics approval or a documented exemption from a recognized authority. If formal approval is not available, clearly describe the measures taken to protect participants. Evidence of informed consent, confidentiality, and risk management is essential, along with referral pathways for participants affected by violence.
Sponsorship and Partnership Opportunities:
SVRI Forum 2026 is more than just a conference; it's a global movement driving evidence-based action to end violence. Fundraising efforts aim to ensure accessibility and inclusion for participants worldwide, strengthen representation from underrepresented regions, and enhance the Forum's impact on global policy and practice.
