Important information
Via the form below, you can register your master programmes for the Next Step Master Day 2026, which takes place on the 10th of February in Utrecht. Given the overwhelming response we received last year, we operate on a "first come, first served" basis, with a limited number of available slots. However, we aim to ensure a balanced representation of programmes in biology, chemistry, and life sciences, as well as participation from different institutions across various cities.
Booth options
There are two options: (1) a table top or (2) a poster board.
Both options include program representation on the Next Step Master Day website, featuring a photo, text, and/or video presentation.
(1) A table top setup includes a high round table (80 cm in diameter, 1.15 m in height) with access to an electricity point (230V). There will be enough space to place your own banner behind the table, but please note that this option does not include a poster board. Each table top can accommodate a maximum of two master programmes, and the costs are €150 per table.
(2) A poster board setup includes a freestanding poster board (2 m poles, 1 m x 1.25 m panel) for hanging posters or flyers, but does not include a table. Electricity points are available, and you may bring your own banner. Each poster board can accommodate a maximum of one master programme, and the costs are €75.
If you need more than two tables or poster boards, please fill out the form again after registration or contact Elbrig Jansma (ejansma@kncv.nl).
