Contributions to EARLI SIG 14 will be possible through four different presentation formats. All sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes, except for poster sessions, which are scheduled for 60 minutes. 
  • The official language of the Conference is English; thus, all contributions must be sent and presented in English.
  • All submissions should be done completely anonymously, to ensure a fair review process. Please do not include your name in your abstract or in any of your uploaded documents. 
  • We follow EARLI policies: you may not present more than two proposals. In addition, you can have a maximum of two appearances as the chair and/or a discussant, for a total of four appearances. You may participate as a non-presenting co-author as many times as you like. Please, check carefully before agreeing to a certain role that you meet these criteria.
  • It is important to read the guidance below carefully so that you select the appropriate format for your presentation. Selecting an inappropriate format may significantly reduce the chances of acceptance of your proposal! 
  • The conference program will avoid timetable conflicts for presenting authors, chairpersons and discussants, but not for co-authors. 
  • Use the templates provided by the SIG14 Conference when preparing your contribution. Once they are complete, rename them using keywords of your title (do not use authors’ names). Attach this document during the submission process. 
  • Please note, that for every format a title (max 100 characters), an abstract (100-250 words) and extended summary (600-1000 words) need to be submitted at the same time. The abstract will appear in the program book and helps to inform the audience about the content of your study. The extended summary will serve as the basis for the review process.
  • A submission of a symposium consists of a title and abstract (100-250 words) of the whole symposium, and for each contribution to the symposium also a title, abstract (100-250 words) and extended summary (600-1000 words). This is all submitted at the same time by the symposium organiser (see templates below).
  • If you need someone to be your discussant or need an extra contribution to complete your symposia, use this
