Home  /  Proposal - Types Of Proposals are invited for: Individual Papers - each accepted paper will be allocated a maximum of 30 minutes for presentation followed by discussion. Final versions of papers MUST be provided prior to the Conference for publication on the SRHE website and inclusion in a Conference report. Discussion Workshops - if the number of abstract submissions is as high as in recent years some acceptances will invite contributors to make a brief presentation of their work, along with other contributors, in the format of an invited workshop discussion. These workshops will not offer the opportunity for full individual presentations of papers, but will provide greater time for discussion of papers submitted in advance on related themes. Symposia - these consist of presentation of three or more related papers on a single theme, explored in one-hour (3 papers) or two-hour (4–6 papers) sessions. Symposia submissions must be made by one individual and all abstracts for inclusion in a symposium should ideally be submitted together, but can be linked subsequently. Proposals must state clearly the rationale for the theme, name of the convenor and the chair of the symposium, the names and details of all participating presenters and the titles of each presentation planned. The symposium proposal MUST include an abstract for each presentation. Roundtables - these comprise discussions of linked contributions for which there is an overall chair/discussant and a minimum of three paper presentations for each 60 minute session. The Roundtable format may be especially suitable for ‘work in progress’ submissions, providing a platform for discussion with other researchers working on related topics. Proposals for roundtables must make clear what links the presentations and MUST include an abstract for each presentation. The proposal must include the name(s) of the chair/discussant and all participating presenters. Poster Sessions - these provide the opportunity for researchers to present their work visually in the format of a wall poster. Poster displays will be on show throughout the Conference and specific times will be allocated in the Conference programme when poster presenters should be with their posters and delegates invited to engage in dialogue and informal exchange. Abstract proposals should contain a title, originator(s), presenter(s), contact details and description of the research work undertaken.   Top
