Submission Guidelines
For all submissions, clearly indicate:
Abstract title, author names, and full institutional affiliations of the responsible (presenting) author and collaborating authors.
Contact e-mail address and phone number for the responsible author.
Up to three conference themes (feel free to indicate themes beyond the list we suggested).
Proposals may include panels, individual oral/poster presentations and work-in-progress.
1) PANELS
Panels should address a common theme, content or methodological area, and will be scheduled for 90 minutes or multiples of 90 minutes.
In addition to individual proposals (no more than 250 words each), please also submit an overview description of no more than 300 words highlighting the panel’s content and objectives. Provide information about the panel members and the coordinator, stating full institutional affiliations and e-mail addresses.
2) INDIVIDUAL ORAL/POSTER PRESENTATIONS
Proposals for individual papers (no more than 250 words) must clearly indicate a preference for oral or poster presentation. Following the peer review process, the organisers will determine whether a proposal is selected for oral or poster presentation. Poster presenters must be physically present to discuss their work during the dedicated sessions. Oral presentations will be allocated 30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation + 10 minutes for discussion).
3) WORK-IN-PROGRESS
Proposals for work-in-progress should be no more than 250 words targeted at oral presentation. Individual presentations will be allocated 30 minutes (15 minutes for presentation + 15 minutes for discussion). This format is particularly suitable for early career researchers pursuing doctoral and postdoctoral studies and for experienced researchers undertaking/planning pilot projects or interested in reporting preliminary results. Please indicate clearly if your proposal falls into this category.
