The conference will be held on 13 May 2026 in Bush House, London and provides a platform for individuals from service provision, government, and research to present current topical evidence involving the Armed Forces community and their families, offering ample opportunities to network and connect with an international delegation.
The theme for the 2026 conference is ‘Connected by Evidence’. This will spotlight connecting evidence and impact, including:
- How evidence-led decision making can produce the best outcomes for the Armed Forces community (AFC)
- How multidisciplinary and collaborative research and practice can benefit the AFC
- Connecting researchers and the evidence they generate with those who can utilise that evidence for the benefit of the AFC
The Centre team are now seeking abstracts that align with this theme for podium and poster presentations, and are particularly interested in applications from early career researchers.
To submit your abstract and for detailed submission information, please head to the abstract portal here. To note, applicants will need to make or log into an Oxford Abstracts account.
Submissions will close on 7 January 2026.
