Portal opening guidelines to be considered by those wishing to submit abstracts is that the portal for January meetings will open in early September the previous year (i.e. for January 2026, the portal will open in early September 2025). The portals for the Spring meeting will open in early January and for the Summer meeting, the portals will open in early April.
In order to manage demand, we request a maximum of two talk submissions per lab (no limit on poster submissions or non-member sponsorship). After 24 hours, we will check whether submission numbers exceed slots available and if so, will conduct a light touch review of submissions (to check eligibility) then select talks using a lottery system. Where possible, talks that are not selected in the lottery will be offered a poster.

If talk slots remain after 24 hours, the portal will remain open until full, and restrictions on the number of submissions per lab will be lifted.
The same work cannot be submitted as a talk and a poster, the submitter must choose which of these best suits the work and submit one or the other.
When you submit your abstract, you will see a success message on screen but you will not receive an email confirmation.
EPS meetings do not require registration and are free to attend. Events within meetings (such as mentoring, social events and the conference dinner) do require advance booking.
Voluntary Registration Fee
We have introduced a voluntary registration fee to enable members and their guests who hold research funding (including costs to attend conferences) to opt in to pay a small fee to attend EPS meetings. This fee will contribute to meeting costs, including travel grants.
The optional fee is set at £150 per meeting.
Attendees can opt in to pay the voluntary fee to attend any EPS scientific meeting by contacting expsychsoc@kent.ac.uk. Please state for which EPS meeting the fee is linked to and provide a postal address to be included on an invoice for the fee in the email.
