Unlocking Global Action: SVRI Forum 2026 Calls for Your Insights
Are you ready to make a difference in the fight against violence? The SVRI Forum 2026 is your platform to contribute to a global movement. This is your chance to engage with a diverse community of changemakers and drive evidence-based solutions.
Abstract Submission: Your Gateway to Impact
Status: Open for submissions
Deadline: January 30, 2026
The SVRI Forum invites researchers, practitioners, and advocates from around the world to share their insights and experiences. This call for abstracts aims to gather innovative ideas and evidence-based practices to address violence against women, children, and the complex intersections of gender-based violence.
But what's unique about this call?
- Peer-Reviewed Excellence: Your work will undergo a rigorous peer-review process led by the SVRI Scientific Committee, ensuring quality and impact.
- Evidence-Based Focus: The forum prioritizes evidence-based approaches, ethical considerations, and real-world impact.
- Global Representation: Abstracts from low- and middle-income countries and resource-constrained settings are especially encouraged, ensuring diverse perspectives.
- Flexible Presentation Formats: Choose from oral, poster, panel, or short-format presentations to showcase your work.
Abstract Categories: Find Your Fit
Research / Programme / Practice-Based Abstracts:
These abstracts focus on a single project or study, covering research, program implementation, or practice-based knowledge. They can involve multiple authors, but only one abstract is submitted for review. The Scientific Committee may group selected abstracts into thematic panels.
Panel Abstracts:
For a more comprehensive perspective, panel abstracts bring together multiple contributors to explore a shared theme or research question. Each panelist submits an individual abstract, and the panel must demonstrate diversity and thematic coherence.
And here's where it gets strategic:
- Single abstracts covering entire panels won't be accepted, so ensure each contributor submits their unique perspective.
- Panels based on a single study may not be considered, emphasizing the need for diverse viewpoints.
- Panel slots are competitive, so craft your abstract with impact!
Submission Process: A Simple Guide
- Create an Account: Start by creating a user profile on Oxford Abstracts, the official submission platform.
- Submit Your Abstract: Complete and submit your abstract online, ensuring it adheres to the guidelines.
- Edit with Care: You can edit your abstract while it's still marked as incomplete. Once finalized, it cannot be edited, so review carefully.
