Call for abstract
NOFA8
The date for the submission of abstracts has been extended to 10 December 2020.
The procedure for submitting proposals for symposiums is as follows:
- Each presenter/researcher posts their own abstract individually.
- The leader of the symposium should name the participants in the symposium in his / her abstract.
Several participants have asked whether their paper presentation may be in their own language, or whether it must be in English. The invitation form allows for both alternatives. However, we prefer that the abstracts be written in English.
You are welcome to submit an abstract for the conference. Please choose from the presentation formats listed below:
Lasting 20 minutes. This is a standard presentation format. In an oral presentation, 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.
Lasting 90 minutes. Symposia are typically organised as follows: (1) Introduction, (2) three or four oral presentations based on submitted abstracts, (3) discussion. Symposium presentations are organised by individuals who recruit speakers to present papers on a specific topic.
Lasting 60 - 90 minutes. Workshops are basically extended paper presentations including interaction with or participation from the audience. There will be a few available slots for workshops, and these sessions should be led by an experienced researcher. The interaction with the audience can be oral (group or plenary discussions) or online (tasks or polls). The interaction will be distributed throughout the workshop and not only as a part of a discussion period at the end
Two options:
- Videoposter containing 1-3 PowerPoint slides. With either an audiovisual video of you presenting your poster or with voice over
- Poster presentation of 3-5 PowerPoint slides (without video and audio from you)
