About the conference

Why we do it this way

Fully online

No travel costs or visa barriers. Researchers from any country can participate on equal footing.

Low cost by design

Registration is kept deliberately affordable so early career researchers and those with limited funding can attend.

Interdisciplinary

Open to psychologists, anthropologists, sociologists, medics, and more — united by an interest in body image.

Talks and posters

The programme includes both research talks and poster presentations, giving a platform to work at every stage.
