ORGANIZING A WORKSHOP
We encourage workshop proposals. They should contain:
- a 1000 word description of the topic (including the research questions to be addressed) and
- a list of workshop participants and 300 word abstracts of their papers.
Since we want conference participants to be able to attend individual workshop presentations, workshops need to be compatible with the main conference schedule. This means that the format of the workshops must be organized around 30 minute presentations (20 min. + 10 min. discussion). Workshops will contain 10 slots (corresponding to 1 day); each workshop ideally comprises: (a) an introductory paper by the convenor/s or by a key-note speaker, which summarizes previous research, specifies the approach/es to be taken and sets the scope of the papers to be presented; (b) eight papers; (c) a slot for final discussion on the topics covered by the papers, methodological issues and questions for future research.
POSTERS
There will be a poster session of an hour for both senior and junior researchers. In order to foster interaction, all other sessions will be suspended during the poster session. Posters may remain available during the rest of the conference. The maximum size of the poster is 1.20 m (vertical) x 0.90 m (horizontal).
