The Margherita von Brentano Center (MvBZ) warmly invites PhD, postdoctoral and other early career researchers at Freie Universität Berlin to submit proposals for a Research Poster Session as part of the #GenderStudies Science Day that annually takes place on/around December 18.

We welcome you to present your research project, design, and/or results in the form of a poster, regardless of your project's stage or discipline. The key requirement is to highlight the significance of gender-related aspects in your work.

Proposal Evaluation Criteria

Proposals will be evaluated based on: relevance, uniqueness of the topic and quality of the abstract. Our goal is to make publicly visible how exciting, diverse, and scientifically excellent gender research is, and that as a critical science it focuses on important problems and real phenomena.

Submission Guidelines

• Deadline for proposals: October 15 (Deadline extended: October 25)
• Submission requirements: Abstract (300 words max.), name, position and institutional affiliation (Word document).
• Submission email: sabina.garcia.peter@fu-berlin.de

Applicants will be notified of the results by end of October. We will provide guidelines and a template for designing the scientific poster. The final poster submission is due by the end of November. The MvBZ will cover the print costs.

Poster Session Details

• Exhibition: The poster session will be held during the second week of December at the “Rost- und Silberlaube” building of Freie Universität Berlin.
• Community Vote: The FUB community will vote for their favorite poster.
• Poster Pitches: On December 18, presenters will have the opportunity to pitch their posters to an audience. The most voted poster will be awarded. These pitches will be recorded and included in an online exhibition set to launch in early 2025.

For any questions, please contact Dr. Sabina García Peter at the Margherita von Brentano Center for Gender Studies: sabina.garcia.peter@fu-berlin.de

We look forward to your participation!
