Presentation options

1. Individual paper presentation

For regular paper presentations, 25 minutes will be scheduled (15 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion and questions from the audience). 3 different papers will be presented in each parallel session, grouped by the scientific committee of the conference.

An individual paper proposal includes:

  • the name, institution, and professional contact details of the author(s)
  • the title of the paper
  • 5 keywords
  • A paper summary (maximum 500 words) indicating:
    • introduction: main topic of the paper
    • theoretical framework
    • research questions or hypotheses
    • methodology
    • results (obtained or expected, but present in the final communication)
    • some elements of discussion (scientific relevance, practical implications, etc.)
  • List of 3 to 5 references (APA 7 guidelines; of which maximum 1 reference from the authors' work)

2. Poster presentation

A poster proposal is prepared following the guidelines for individual paper proposals. A poster is the work of one or more authors. It is presented in A0 format. The authors are responsible for printing the poster and displaying it at the conference in the designated area. The authors of each poster will have time to make a 5-minute presentation to the audience.

3. Self-organised symposium

Symposia last 90 minutes and bring together several contributions (3 to 4) on the same topic, followed by a discussion. A thematic symposium session is proposed and planned by a symposium organiser. A symposium has a chair (often the organiser) and a discussant, who have read the papers in advance. The symposium organiser will decide on the contributions and the time allotment for each presentation.

A symposium proposal includes:

  • the name, institution, and professional contact details of the organisers
  • the title of the symposium
  • 5 keywords
  • a presentation of the topic of the symposium, its general focus and its developments in the various contributions, as well as its organisation and the name of the discussant (maximum 350 words)
  • a presentation of each contribution strictly following the indications for individual paper proposals (paper summary maximum 500 words)

The three papers in the symposia must represent at least two different countries or national perspectives. The presentations should not all draw on the same research project, nor should they be made by members of the same institution.

Submission

All submissions will be peer-reviewed according to the following criteria:

  • scope and relevance of the topic for the conference
  • quality of the content (theoretical and methodological aspects, presentation of results, and/or discussion)
  • quality and clarity of the presentation

The reviewers provide feedback to the authors. They may request that the paper be reclassified in another format (e.g. from poster to paper presentation).
