ORAL PRESENTATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG RESEARCHERS

The HUPHAR2026 – International Conference of Pharmacology, Drug Research and Development places special emphasis on providing young researchers with opportunities for professional introduction and also offers them the possibility to deliver oral presentations.

Based on experience from previous years, this opportunity is extremely popular; however, the 120 minutes allocated for oral presentations in the conference program are unfortunately not sufficient to accommodate all applicants. Young researchers who are not selected for an oral presentation will have the opportunity to present their research results in the form of a poster presentation at the HUPHAR2026 conference.

One of the main objectives of the YOUNGPHARM program is to provide additional oral presentation opportunities for young researchers. To this end, the professional reviewers of YOUNGPHARM will select applicants from among the oral abstracts submitted to the HUPHAR2026 conference who will be invited to give an oral presentation at the YOUNGPHARM forum.

Abstrack submission 

Abstracts must be submitted via the event’s registration website.
