*Do you have some research you would like to present at CGMS 2017?**
*The call for abstracts is now open!**

The Children’s Global Media Summit, CGMS 2017 is looking for outstanding 
and insightful research submissions for the conference, taking place in 
Manchester on the 5-7th December 2017.

CGMS 2017 will bring together content, policy, platforms, and big 
thinkers from across the globe to help define the future of media for 
young audiences in our digital world. *At the 2017 Summit we are asking 
the question: what role can, and should, media play in the lives of 
children across the world?*

We invite submissions from people with original research about the media 
that children engage with and consume, or a unique story about a ground 
breaking digital kids media project to share with delegates at the CGMS 
2017. ?

*Background*
The first World Summit on Media for Children took place in 1995 and they 
have continued every 3 years ever since.  The last Summit was held in 
Kuala Lumpur in 2014.  Each Summit is commissioned by the World Summit 
on Media for Children Foundation and aims to create a global community 
committed to the improvement of quality media for children.

For CGMS 2017, we welcome submissions that are about children’s media in 
relation to the five themes that will be addressed at the Summit: 
Innovation, Education, Empowerment, Entertainment, and how to safely 
enable Freedom for children online.

	

You might want to consider:
*- Innovation *– play, platforms and storytelling
/How is tech transforming digital media for children?/
-*Freedom* – Resilience, regulation and protection online
/Is it too late to rebuild the internet for children?/
- *Education* – structures, globalization, self-teaching
/What’s the impact of digital media on education across the globe?/
- *Entertainment* – celebrity, commercial, audience expectation
/What is entertainment in a digital world and why does it matter?/
- *Empowerment* – diversity, ownership, truth
/How can we give children a bigger voice on the global stage?/

The Summit is aimed at professionals involved in the creation, 
distribution, business or study of children’s media, and those who are 
involved in policy-making that affects this industry.  The Summit 
focuses on digital and broadcast media that kids engage with and 
consume, but not in the area of toys, music, films or books.

	

Submission should be based on original research, or can be a 
presentation of a case study, which shares a first-hand experience of a 
new digital innovation or inspirational story.

All submissions should be around 500 words including research focus, 
underpinning methodology, main findings. An international committee will 
evaluate submissions, judged on rigour, originality, and relevance to 
the Summit; the panel will be academic peers and the BBC Editorial Team.

We anticipate that insights from research papers will be presented as 
10-15  minute speech, with 5 mins for Q&A.  Please note however that 
this format is not rigid, and may be subject to change as the event 
planning develops. The conference’s official language is English.

Authors will be expected to fund their delegate registration, travel and 
accommodation costs.

All submissions will be done electronically.
