SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS FOR PRESENTATION

Oral presentations (25 minutes): The presenter delivers their research to their audience verbally, often accompanied by a PowerPoint slideshow. Oral presentations are generally organised by stream into parallel sessions comprising three or four presentations.

Virtual presentations (25 minutes): The presenter delivers their research either in real time via a virtual meeting platform or asynchronously using pre-recorded videos.

Workshop presentations (50 minutes): A workshop should be led by an experienced researcher or practitioner, be practically oriented and contain some experiential participation and opportunities for interaction. A workshop often involves problem-solving, skills training, or the dissemination of new content or disciplinary approaches.

Poster presentations (60 minutes, offline only): A poster presentation provides a relaxed presentation atmosphere in which the presenter uses a poster (in A0 size) to illustrate their research. Presenters will often engage with interested participants on a one-to-one basis, providing excellent opportunities for networking, discussion and relationship building.
