GUIDELINES FOR PROPOSALS

We will welcome contributions to these types of sessions:

  • Symposia (We strongly encourage you to contact colleagues and submit a symposium!)
  • Paper Sessions
  • Poster Session
  • Open Format

SYMPOSIUM

Symposia provide the opportunity to present research on one topic and compile a coherent set of papers. The symposium's organizers chair the Symposium sessions and involve three presentations followed by a discussion by one discussant.

Contributions should be from at least three different countries.

Submission for a symposium consist of a general abstract (100–200 words) for the proposed symposium, which describes the central topic of the symposium, as well as an abstract (100–200 words) and an extended summary (400–600 words excluding references) for each individual paper. The extended summary should address: 

  1. theoretical framework, 
  2. aims of the study and research questions, 
  3. methodology (participants, context, 
    materials, instruments, data analyses), 
  4. results, 
  5. discussion and implications 

Please provide 3 to 4 keywords for the symposium and for each individual paper.

Symposium sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes. Each presenter as well as the discussant of the symposium has 15 minutes for the individual presentation/discussion. The remaining time is used for open discussion guided by the organizers of the symposium.

SINGLE PAPER

Paper sessions provide an opportunity to submit research on a specific topic that is not included in a symposium or for which an international network is not yet available to submit a symposium. We will try to arrange single papers into sessions that fit one topic. Please help us by providing clear keywords. Single-paper sessions are directed by a chair and involve four presentations followed by a discussion with the audience.

Submission for a single paper consists of an abstract (100–200 words) and an extended summary (400–600 words excluding references). The extended summary should address: 

  1. theoretical framework, 
  2. aims of the study and research questions, 
  3. methodology (participants, context, materials, instruments, data analyses), 
  4. results, 
  5. discussion and implications 

Please provide 3 to 4 keywords for the individual paper.

Single paper sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes. Each presenter has 15 minutes for the presentation. The remaining time is used for open discussion guided by the chair of the paper session.

POSTER SESSION

The poster session offers the chance to present research in a visual format and gives more opportunities for interaction and discussion. The poster session is scheduled for 90 minutes. The audience circulates among the posters, stopping to discuss research of particular interest. Presenters don’t need to prepare an introduction but should make sure to stand at their poster during this time to answer questions and give further information on their research. The poster size is A0 (height: 120 cm, width 90 cm). The poster format is portrait/vertical position. 

The proposals should consist of:

  • A title of up to 100 characters (including spaces).
  • An abstract of 100–200 words. 
  • An extended summary of 400–600 words (excluding references), detailing the aims, methodology, findings, and theoretical and educational significance of the research. This extended summary is the basis for the reviewers. 

Please provide 3 to 4 keywords for the individual poster.

The three best posters from JURE members will be awarded, and the winners will be honored at the Conference Dinner.
