TEMPLATES
Types of submission
Note: The presenters determine the length of the discussion for workshops and performances.
Papers (20 minutes and 10 minutes discussion) — In-person presentations will be prioritized. Limited spaces will be available for online paper presentations.
For ICDS7, we are offering two categories for the presentation of papers:
(i) Spoken research papers. These entail the presentation of research, explaining aims, methodologies, findings, and conclusions as appropriate in the respective fields.
(ii) Spoken practice papers. These are presentations of “good practices,” explaining novel pedagogical/therapeutic/artistic approaches and/or theories, and discussing the implications for future work. Please consider these questions: What is it about? What did you do? What did you find out? How do you make sense of this? Why does this matter? What did you learn?
Note on online presentations: When accepted, online presenters are expected to record their talk (max. 20 min) and send the video before June 1st to icds7@uni.lu via wetransfer. They are expected to register for the conference, and be online for the Q&A after the recorded presentation.
Workshop (60 minutes, including discussion) — In-person only
Workshops are practical sessions involving delegate participation that focus on the conference theme. For workshop proposals, please provide information on the Background, Aims, Interactive Participation, Implications and the Specific Value and Meaning.
Paper & Workshop (90 minutes, including discussion) — In-person only
This format combines a spoken presentation (on research or practice) with a workshop. For proposals, please provide information on the Background, Aims, Interactive Participation, Implications and the Specific Value and Meaning of the session.
Symposium (90 minutes, including 15 minutes for questions/discussion) — In-person only. A limited number of spaces will be available for symposia presentations.
A symposium is a shared platform for 3–6 delegates to present a specific research topic in depth and to discuss each other’s work in a public forum. When submitting the proposal, please provide the list of presenters and indicate who will chair the symposium. Also, provide background information on the topic to be discussed and a brief outline of what each presenter will contribute to the discussion. There is flexibility in the way presenters decide to format their symposium (e.g., to have questions after each contribution or only at the end).
Roundtable (90 minutes, including discussion) — In-person only
In contrast to the symposium, a roundtable is a semi-planned conversation amongst a group of presenters who invite other delegates from the conference to contribute to discussing an important topic. It does not need to present research findings. Roundtable organizers lead a public discussion to arrive at shared understandings, new insights, and/or proposals for action. For these proposals, please indicate who will organize the roundtable discussion (there may be more than one organizer), who will chair it on the day, information about the topics to be discussed, and objectives or anticipated outcomes of the discussion.
Performance (timing variable) — In-person only
Please note that all performances will be live and in person. The committee may request that the timing of accepted performances be adjusted to suit the conference timetable. Therefore, timing needs to be indicated when submitting.
Note: We prefer performances between 3 and 10 minutes long. If you have a vision for a performance longer than 10 minutes, please contact the organizing committee at the following address, ICDS7@uni.lu, to inquire about room in the conference schedule for more substantial performances.
Poster — In-person only
Poster presentations offer a dynamic platform to showcase your research visually. We are looking for a concise and engaging format that allows for in-depth discussions with attendees. This interactive format encourages knowledge exchange and networking opportunities. Posters will be on display throughout the conference.
