Individual presentations
The presentations will be arranged in sections. Each presentation is allotted a total of 20 minutes, excl. time for questions.
Panel
An organized panel is centered around a specific theme and is planned by the panel's organizers. The panel includes a chairperson (usually the organizer) and it is possible to include one or more discussants who have read the panel's abstracts in advance and agreed to participate in the panel. The panel's organizer determines the structure and duration of the panel. Recommended time is two hours, but it is possible to request a duration of three hours. For a panel of two hours it is recommended to include 3-4 presentations. There should also be a concluding discussion which may be moderated by the participants or an invited discussant. The panel's abstract should include the following:
1) The panel's title
2) An introduction describing the panel's purpose (maximum 500 words)
3) The desired duration for the panel
4) The names and titles of the individual presenters
Note that separate abstracts must be submitted for each presentation within the panel. These abstracts should follow the abstract template and instructions above and be submitted as individual abstracts by all participants in the panel. Please specify the panel's title during the submission.
Poster presentations
There will be an opportunity to display posters in the conference's coffee area. Posters will remain up throughout the conference, and specific time slots will be allocated for attendees to visit the posters. Presenters are expected to be available at their posters during these scheduled times. The poster size should be A0.
Selection process
All submissions will undergo peer review, focusing on theoretical, methodological, and empirical clarity.
