Guidelines for practitioner submissions

Content. 

Practitioner submission must take the form of a short presentation outline. The outline is focused on the main ideas you would like to convey in your presentation. Please explain:

  • the purpose of your presentation,

  • the main problems/ challenges discussed,

  • your main content (any type/form),

  • the conclusions you offer and

  • possibly any a call for action directed at researchers or fellow practitioners. 

For more information consult the Call for Contributions (PDF download).

Format.

Your submission should comprise about 1-2 pages of full text or bullet points. Except for page limitations, we adhere to the “Your-Presentation-Your-Way” formatting philosophy. Please be reasonable and consider your audience!

Copyrights.

The copyrights for the work you submit remains with you at all times. This allows for the submission of your most recent work (in progress) and to get feedback on your new ideas! We will supply conference attendees with a book of abstracts.
