Scientific Poster Display

The scientific poster display at the 2026 TOPRA Symposium is open to individuals undertaking research in regulatory affairs or any aspect of healthcare product development, who wishes to showcase their research to the regulatory affairs community. Both scientific and literature posters are welcome to be submitted.

Examples of poster topics from the 2025 Symposium include:
-     MHRA Scientific Advice: Enhancing UK Regulatory Success
-     Developing a Holistic Framework for Digital Tool Regulatory Readiness for Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) Submissions
-     Pushing Boundaries to Speed Solutions: Regulatory Trends of Innovative Oncology Treatments

If your abstract submission is successful, you will need to send your completed poster to TOPRA for formal review. If your poster is accepted, it will then be displayed in the Symposium’s exhibition hall and in our event app. For 2026, we are moving back to a physical poster display. TOPRA will print your poster, therefore you do not need to bring this to the Symposium. Please see example submissions at the bottom of the webpage.

Video

We also offer the opportunity to submit a short video (3-5 minutes in length) introducing the poster to Symposium delegates which we would host on our dedicated app, alongside the poster. An example of this type of video is available here. Please ensure this is submitted by Friday 18 September.  

Student poster competition

 

There is also a poster competition for students in full-time or part-time education. If you wish to enter this, please indicate this when submitting the abstract of your poster. The author of the poster considered to be the best by the independent judging panel of regulatory affairs experts will be awarded a prize of £500, along with a certificate.

The judges may include TOPRA members, members of the TOPRA board and the Advisory panel. The winning posters will also be featured on the TOPRA website and in our internal member newsletter. 

The event is intentionally cross-disciplinary, and you are being judged, in part, on your ability to represent your research to a broad audience who may not be experts in your field. You are unlikely to be judged by an academic from your own subject area so please bear this in mind when considering how to present your work.

It is not a requirement to attend the Symposium but if your poster is accepted, though please note students in full-time education are eligible for a 50% discount to the conference. 

Please note: the judges’ decision is final and the winner agrees that their name and photograph may be used in post-event publicity.
