Here you find information about Ells Scientific Student Conference 2019.
We invite you to submit your abstract before 30 June 2019 (23:59 o'clock). The best abstracts will be chosen and those students will be given the opportunity to present their research in an oral presentation or poster presentation, including a poster pitch.
All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by a Scientific Committee (scientists from ELLS member Universities) in July-August 2019. Authors will be notified in the beginning of September whether their abstract has been accepted. Notification of final assignment (oral presentation or poster presentation) will follow in due course.
After confirmation of your participation you have to register for the conference. Registration will open in September. If you did not submit an abstract or if your abstract was rejected you may also participate as an audience member.
Please read this instruction very carefully before you submit.
Students who have been selected to do an oral presentation in one of the sessions should prepare a presentation that will last for a maximum of 15 minutes. This is followed by a 5 minutes discussion with the audience.
You need to be able to speak freely (not read from a paper) and to show a PPP (power point presentation). Remember to use your university logo in the presentation. Bring the presentation on a memory stick to the conference. Come to the presentation room 15 minutes in advance and upload the presentation in time. You don't have to send your presentation in advance to the organisers.
When you've created your poster as PDF go to the Abstract system and log in with the same credentials as when you submitted your abstract. If you have forgotten your login information you can click on the link "Forgot password?" and fill in your email that you used when you submitted your abstract and you will receive an email sent to you with the instructions for creating a new password. Deadline: November 9.
The aim of my PhD work is to evaluate how a climate tax on Swedish food consumption can be designed to reduce climate impact with as few negative effects as possible for other environmental goals.
I use Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to calculate the climate impact of food products on the Swedish market that will be affected by a climate tax. An important part of my work involves examining methodological choices within LCA and the effect of the choices on the climate impact of food products.
From each member university, the best abstracts will be selected. The students that handed in these abstracts will receive an accommodation grant for 3 nights, Thursday - Sunday. Winners of the accommodation grants are notified in September after the review process. In addition, some universities may support authors with travel scholarships.

A cheap and convenient way to reach Uppsala from Arlanda Airport is to take regional bus no 801 from outside Terminal 5 (tickets can be bought at Arlanda). Cash is not accepted on the buses.
You can also travel by train from Arlanda. The trains are faster than the bus but more expensive. There is also the option of taking a taxi. Make sure the taxi company is from Uppsala and not Stockholm as thet will be more costly. You can always pre-book a taxi from Terminal 5 to Campus Ultuna.
You can find travel information and timetables for regional and local buses and trains at the UL web.
At the SJ web, you can search for departures from Arlanda to Uppsala central station and book your trip.
When you have arrived in Uppsala, you can take regional bus number 100 and 101 or local bus number 4 from the station to Campus Ultuna. You will get the bus card from SLU.
Inside the station, you will also find the travel centre for local buses and trains, UL. Across Kungsgatan (the main street closest to the central station where many local buses leave from), you will find the Uppsala tourist centre.
The conference is organised by Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) and hosted by SLU, Sweden.
The conference is free of charge.
