What happens once I have submitted?
Submissions will go through a selection process by the programme committee, who will consider the following:
-
Relevance to the conference themes.
-
Appeal to a diverse audience. Whilst presenters are encouraged to share work in a specific subject discipline, submissions should identify points of interest and implications for those working in other disciplines and areas of work.
-
The quality of the proposal and practice being shared. Proposals should be well-written, engaging and successfully communicate the effective and educationally interesting practice that is being delivered.
-
Whether an appropriate delivery method has been selected, e.g. presentation, workshop, poster, lightning talk.
What are the key dates I need to know?
