SCS Annual Conference, Call for Posters

We would like to invite students and scientists, new to the field of cosmetic science, to our Annual Conference to present some of their contemporary research. We will offer free Conference registration to 10-15 people. In addition, one person will be selected for an award. A great kick-start to a career in the cosmetics industry.

How to enter

  • Submit an abstract describing your work to the Conference Scientific Programme (SP) Committee. Deadline for submissions is Friday 26th May 2023. Abstracts must be submitted in English (maximum 500 words, no tables/graphs in the abstract). The abstract should describe an original piece of scientific work and must not have been previously published or submitted to any other conference. Original research undertaken for commercial purposes is welcome, as long as it has sufficient scientific merit. Abstracts and posters should use chemical names as far as possible and avoid direct promotion of any products or services.
  • Open to all full-time students based at UK Universities (undergraduates/post-graduates /post-doctoral scientists). Applicants don’t need to have studied cosmetic science degrees but abstracts must be related to cosmetic science.
  • All abstracts will be evaluated by a jury of experts of the Scientific Programme Committee. Results will be communicated to authors by Wednesday 31st May 2023.  roughly 10 pieces of work will be chosen to be presented at the Conference.
