SiReN Alert Presentations

​SiReN will be hosting another edition of the successful ALERT meeting at the SESAM Annual Meeting (Date TBC) and invite simulation researchers at all levels to submit proposed simulation research ideas or work in progress, and have the opportunity to discuss your idea and work with a roundtable of experienced simulation researchers. Submission deadline is March 30th, 2025. [Abstract template here]

What is an ALERT presentation?

An ALERT (Advanced Look Exploratory Research Template) presentation is a 5 minutes presentation that encapsulates either your new simulation-based research idea (as a new ALERT) or your progress in implementing a research project (as a progress report). The idea is to present the distilled essence of your study. The concept of ALERT presentations has been adapted by SiReN on the model developed by our partner research organization, the International Network for Simulation Based Research (INSPIRE, https://inspiresim.org/). The ALERTs are presented in this format back-to-back. Once the presentation is delivered participants will discuss their project with other participants and mentors, receive feedback, and in turn have the opportunity to give feedback to others. Our ultimate goal is to establish a community of practice that promotes learning from each other, creating a solid ground for launching successful single and/or multi-site studies.

Researchers interested in participating should submit their presentation via this email siren@sesamsociety.org using this Abstract template here.

Deadline for ALERT submissions: March 30th, 2025

Confirmation of acceptance and feedback to applicants: April 25th, 2025

Final version of ALERT presentation to be submitted by: June 1st, 2025.
