apply to conferences by abstract at 1st year PhD?

E

Hi guys! Quick question: there is a very interesting symposium I would like to take part in October but they ask for an abstract by July. Since I just started my PhD so I have only first results (even if hopefully I will have more by July!) I was wondering if you think I can apply or they usually take only older Phds and postdoc and so I should wait some other time (the second year?) before applying for conferences?
Thanks!

I would check with ypur supervisor. I wluld go for it if it is a pistgrad conference, they are generally very friendly, but perhaps wait until next year if a larger journal or pg/early career one.

See this thread:


And you can often still get chosen to do a poster even if you have no results yet

Thank you both!
