You may submit presentation, symposium, good practice and poster proposals for the conference.

Presentation sessions

Presentation sessions are oral presentations of four papers, followed by a discussion with the audience. Theoretical and empirical papers should present a completed research project, otherwise they will not be accepted.

Presentation sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes. Presenters are given 15 minutes presentation time, followed by 5 minutes for questions. At the end of all presentations, there is a 10-minute-long open discussion.

Poster sessions

The posters will be presented to participants in poster sessions organised by the Scientific Committee. The poster session will include a presentation of the posters one by one - up to 6 minutes - and questions and answers from interested parties and participants. The poster session will be moderated by a chairperson appointed by the Scientific Committee. The poster must be size A0, portrait orientation. The poster may include both original work and published material.

Symposia

Symposia are planned sessions related to a specific topic area involving up to four presenters and a chair and one opponent. All participants, including the opponent, should be registered as participants at the time of submission.

A symposium is scheduled for 90 minutes, allowing 15minute presentation time for each speaker, 10 minutes for the opponent, and 20 minutes for open discussion.

Good practice/workshop

The good practice/workshop is 90 minutes long, during which 4 or 5 presentations will take place, followed by discussion and debate. Before uploading the abstract, the presenting author must register on the conference website.

Abstracts can be 2,000 to 3,000 characters in length, including 4-5 references. All submissions –including symposia – must be made without author identification for blind review. If the abstract contains any information (e.g. self-reference, name or institution) that could identify its author, the Scientific Program Committee will reject the abstract and it cannot not be resubmitted. There are separate sections on the submission form for title, authors and acknowledgements.

Abstracts should include the following details of the theoretical or empirical work:

1. Purpose
2. Theoretical/pedagogical background
3. Research design and methods
4. Results
5. Theoretical and practical relevance

Abstracts will be evaluated by two reviewers, according to the Review criteria.
