Presentation formats
There will be four presentation formats at the conference. Although you are welcome to express a preference, the programme committee will ultimately choose your format. The four options include the following:
Paper presentation
Each paper presentation will last 10–15 min, with additional time for questions. The papers will be scheduled in sessions that will include three to four papers on related themes. The organising committee will nominate a chairperson to keep time and organise the discussion for each session.
The organising committee suggests that all presenters end with questions to stimulate discussion.

Symposium presentation
A symposium lasts 1.5–2 hours. Symposium sessions, which will be organised by the submitters, should include three to four presentations per session in addition to a discussion. A symposium proposal should include an introduction and a proposal for each paper that is submitted by the organiser. Proposals for symposiums should have a clear focus and strong possibilities for inciting dynamic discussions. A discussant (who is not participating in the symposium) needs to be named in the submission. The discussant shall offer critique and comments on the symposium. Four weeks prior to the conference, the organiser must provide the discussant with all intended papers’ abstracts for review.
