We are now accepting submissions for the 2026 forum

We are now accepting submissions for the 2026 Down Syndrome Research Forum, which will be held online from 16 to 18 March 2026.

We welcome a wide variety of contributions from experienced researchers, researchers new to the field, practitioners and professionals, and family members. Presentations are usually allotted 20 minutes, which should include a few minutes for questions. We also welcome symposia that bring together 3 or 4 related presentations. For further information, please refer to the forum web site.

To submit, please use our (new) online submission system. You will need to sign in using a DSE Client Id. (If you do not have one, you can create a DSE Client Id here.)

To submit an individual presentation, we ask for a title (up to 300 characters), abstract (up to 3000 characters), the names and affiliations of all contributors, and which contributor(s) will be presenting.

To submit a symposium, we again ask for title, abstract and contributors for the symposium as a whole, and for each symposium presentation. You will need to first create the symposium submission as this will generate a code that then needs to be used to associate each presentation with the symposium.

You can return to your submission(s) and edit them as drafts before finally submitting. We will send you a link. You can also log in to the submission system to see any active submission(s) that you have created.

Any problems/difficulties, please let us know!
