Guidelines

Abstracts are limited to 300 words, excluding the title and additional space for 5 references.

Please prepare your abstract under the following headings:

1. The problem
2. The approach
3. Findings
4. Implications/potential impact

Papers will be grouped into coherent panels of up to four or five papers in a 90-minute slot.

All submissions must indicate the main theme most closely related to the abstract being submitted. The Organisation reserves the right to reassign your abstract to a different theme if it is more relevant for programme planning purposes.

Important points for submitting an abstract:

1. When submitting an abstract, you will need to select one theme to align your abstract to.
2. Doctoral candidates may opt to present their work in a pitching format, consisting of a shorter presentation (5 minutes) followed by feedback from invited experts. Those wishing to choose this format should select ‘Pitching’ in the submission form. In all other cases, the option to be selected is 'Oral Communication'.
3. You will need to create an account to submit an abstract. Once you have signed in, please select the "Abstracts" > "Abstracts" option of the left side menu of your personal area.
4. Currently, you will not need to submit a full paper for the conference.
5. The conference is fully in-person, and we will not be accepting any virtual presentations.
6. You should receive an email confirmation with a copy of your abstract once your submission has been completed.
7. Only one abstract will normally be accepted per main presenting author, which will be the highest-scoring paper. This does not apply if you are a presenting co-author on other papers.
