Friday, 18 October
The conference ended three hours ago, and I am finally alone in the hotel room with tea and a notebook. If I had skipped the evening reception, I would have packed calmly, yet the conversations there were probably more valuable than the keynote slides that were uploaded before lunch.
Dr Patel asked whether our pilot study had been peer-reviewed. I told her that drafts were circulated internally but external review had not been completed. She advised me to submit before the spring deadline and not to wait until figures were polished beyond recognition.
During the panel, an audience member wondered why qualitative findings had not been integrated with the statistical model. Moderators requested that questions be brief, and speakers were given two minutes each to respond. I noted that mixed methods were planned for phase two if funding were renewed.
If I were organising next year's event, I would allocate longer breaks so that posters could be visited without rushing. Name badges would be colour-coded, mentorship slots would be advertised, and recordings would be captioned for accessibility.
The keynote speaker reported what early-career researchers had told her about grant applications. Many felt that instructions were unclear and that feedback was rarely provided when proposals were rejected. She urged funders to publish anonymised reviews and to offer workshops where templates would be explained.
Had I known about the mentorship lounge earlier, I would have signed up on the first day. Instead, I discovered it accidentally and spoke with a statistician who suggested alternative tests that could be applied when sample sizes were uneven.
My colleague Tomas was told to revise our abstract because acronyms had not been defined. He grumbled, yet the correction was made within an hour, and the updated version was accepted by the programme committee.
If travel reimbursements were processed faster, fewer attendees would leave frustrated. Receipts were scanned, forms were submitted, and confirmation emails were promised within ten business days. I hope mine will arrive before the credit card bill is due.
Walking back through the city centre, I noticed how public art installations were lit at night. Plaques explained that sculptures had been commissioned after community votes were held. Residents were asked whether themes should reflect local history or contemporary issues.
Mixed feelings remain. I am tired, inspired, and slightly overwhelmed by business cards that were exchanged. If energy were unlimited, I would read every paper that was recommended today. Realistically, I will prioritise three and share notes with my team on Monday.
Before sleep, I set an alarm and laid out clothes for the early train. Lessons were learned, contacts were made, and ideas were recorded that might shape our project if we act while motivation is still fresh.
