Call for papers - CLOSED!
Deadline for Submissions: 1st September 2018
Eligibility for submissions
Abstracts
Abstracts should be 300-500 words in length, written in English. Abstracts should include the following content: aims, approach or methodology, findings or key messages, limitations, and conclusions. In addition, each submission must outline implications for policy and/or practice. Authors should indicate, in the submission process, which one of the conference themes the submission relates to.
For symposia with multiple papers, submissions should include an overall abstract for the session plus the individual abstracts for each paper. The author(s) identified in the overall abstract will be listed as the chair(s) of the session. Within the body of each individual abstract, the symposium title must be mentioned, along with the paper number (1, 2, 3, etc) to determine the order of submission. The chair must submit all abstracts related to a symposium.
Submission types
Individual paper presentations: Oral presentations of 15 minutes organised into concurrent themed sessions. Presentations should be 12 minutes content, with up to 3 minutes for questions and discussion.
Symposia: A collection of (3-6) presentations on a common theme, within a 60-90 minute session. A chairperson should introduce the topic, followed by the individual paper presentations. There is typically a short time for questions and discussion between the participants and the audience following each individual paper, and a concluding set of comments by the chair/discussant.
Poster presentations: With a visually stimulating and clearly presented visual poster to convey the key points, the poster sessions enable direct interaction between presenters and congress delegates. Posters will be grouped according to a theme.
