πŸŽ“ Scholarships and Support πŸŽ“

The support by our funders allows us to provide five full scholarships to participants who cannot afford to partake otherwise. To find out if there’s an available scholarship and apply for one, indicate so in the application form. Scholarships will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.
If you have the means, you’re always welcome to help us make THINK more inclusive by donating a scholarship!

We encourage you to base your activity on our Hot topic 2023:

This is the perfect theme to juxtapose and compare perpendicular ideas. Bring us your best talk to complement this year’s topic. ⏊ If you need another angle, you can always supplement yours with a joint talk. // In any case we’re sure your brilliant minds will be able to provide us with a 360 view. ⃝

This topic prompt is in no way mandatory, so if there is really no way to force a connection with a topic you’re passionate about, no worries, we value your knowledge above anything else! β˜€οΈ

The three formats:

  • Individual talk of 30 minutes (15-20 min talk + debate)
  • Workshop is a free format of up to 60 minutes.
  • Joint talk, where you team up with another conference participant to talk about a common theme, from two different scientific perspectives lasting 60 minutes in total (30-40 min talk + debate).
  • Email with your name to conference@thinkcommunity.network
  • Brief summary of your contribution
  • Around 250 words (Half a page in regular font)
  • Links and references for further reading

Based on these abstracts we will select the speakers for our slots. The abstracts will be collected and published on our website.
