Big deal to have abstract accepted to present?
P

Thanks for the replies - it's a symposium in another country that I have been accepted to present at, 3-day long, and there will be speakers from various countries, im 3 months into my PhD - but yeah, I just submitted on the off-chance and have managed to get it!

I wondered basically as I told a couple of fellow PhD people and they were just like "oh right congrats" but in a rather its really not that much of an acheivement type manner......

Big deal to have abstract accepted to present?

Hi all,

Just wondering, how much of a big deal is it to present a paper at a conference in your first year of the PhD?

Submitting abstract for conference

Well the conference is some time away, 20th March, but I'd kind of like to be out out of my misery! Also earlier I know, earlier i can plan around it.....

Submitting abstract for conference
P

The submission deadline for conference abstracts was 15th Jan - haven't heard anything yet, they said they'de let me know by Mid-Jan.

Would it be bad practice to email them at the end of the week if I haven't had a response? Or just assume it wasn't successful.....
