Submissions
We especially encourage submissions by early career researchers including doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars at the beginning of their academic careers, working in different contexts and employing various theoretical and methodological approaches. The workshop, in fact, is specifically targeted for early career researchers where emerging scholars can showcase their research and engage in meaningful dialogue with established experts.
Proposals
The two categories of proposals are individual papers and posters.
Papers: papers are formal presentations on original research by one or more authors, lasting a total of 30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion). Please note that the time limit will be strictly adhered to.
Posters: poster sessions are for displaying research that offers the opportunity for individualised, informal discussion of the research. Posters are especially effective for presenting work-in-progress, fieldwork and results of empirical research if data can be presented visually (e.g. charts, graphs, tables). A block of time will be designated when presenters are available to discuss their posters and a time slot will be dedicated to poster presentations. Posters should be in the size of A0 in portrait format.
The working language of the event is English, but we acknowledge the potential for submissions involving other languages, and we encourage prospective authors to reach out if this applies to their work.
Instructions
Please submit your abstracts (max. of 500 words excl. references) before 31 January 2026 by clicking on the "submit new abstract" field. To complete your submission, please log in with your Indico profile or create a new one by selecting your institutional affiliation.
Presenters are requested to paste their abstracts into the dedicated field and to attach it as a MS-Word document. The submitted document should not include authors’ names, their affiliation and email addresses.
Proposals will be evaluated in terms of quality of content, significance, originality and thematic relevance.
Each participant may submit a maximum of two proposals as first author, and the same individual can still become co-author of another proposal. Please, note the maximum of three authors are permitted per proposal.
