Yes, you can. Research is a process, and not every project will be at the same stage. You may describe preliminary findings or the direction of your research where appropriate.<\/p>

For example, you may submit an abstract outlining the research background, objectives, methodology, and preliminary findings, with the possibility of incorporating additional results into your presentation slides\/poster prior conference day on 18th March 2027<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Research takes many forms and happens across every discipline. Your work may have emerged from an assignment in a Taught Course or an Independent Research Project in UROP, ISC, FYP or HT.<\/p>

The other conference I am attending permits non-archival presentations during review, so I would like to confirm compatibility before submitting.<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The aim of REx Conference is to provide opportunities for students to showcase their research learning, hence there should be no issue with abstract submission from our side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

However please note that you are to use the REx Conference abstract template for your submission; we do not accept submissions directly copied from other conferences\/published works. REx Conference does not do formal publishing however we will be preparing a conference booklet with the selected abstract for our attendees’ reference.<\/span><\/p>

If you are participating in any other conference\/publishing for the same research project please check with the respective points of contact on their submission requirements. REx Conference team shall not take responsibility for any non-adherence to other conference\/publications.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No. Each applicant may submit only one abstract<\/strong>.<\/p>

For group research projects, only one abstract should be submitted per project<\/strong>, regardless of the number of group members.<\/p>

For example, if five students are working on the same research project, the group should submit one joint abstract rather than five individual abstracts.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
