- Does the work address a significant or important issue?
- Is the work original, or has it already been published?
- Do the methods/approach enable the research question to be answered rigorously?
- Have the data/findings been interpreted appropriately?
- Are the contents of the abstract clear and intelligible?
All accepted abstracts will be included in an electronic Book of Abstracts.
Special Tracks / Workshops
The conference will also include opportunities for additional tracks or workshops, such as panels, roundtables, and doctoral workshop, to encourage deeper dialogue and collaboration on specific issues.
- Doctoral and Early-Career Workshop
The conference will host a workshop for MSc students, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers, offering them the opportunity to present their research, receive feedback from senior scholars, and engage in discussion with peers. Submissions should follow the same guidelines as other abstracts.
- Panels and Roundtables
The conference also welcomes proposals for panels and roundtables that address the overall theme and sub-themes. These formats are intended to encourage interactive discussion and bring together diverse perspectives on key issues. Proposals should include a short description (max. 300 words) outlining the focus, its relevance to the conference themes, and suggested participants or types of contributions. Accepted panels and roundtables will be scheduled alongside paper sessions and Doctoral Workshop, offering a complementary space for dialogue and exchange.
