Types of presentation 


Paper presentation – full paper (5,000-8,000 words). Typically, a paper 
presentation will be allotted 10-15 minutes for presentation and 15-20 
minutes for discussion.

Paper presentation – extended abstract (2,000-3,000 words). Typically, 
an extended abstract presentation will be allotted 10 minutes for 
presentation and 10 minutes for discussion.

Workshop – based on an abstract (2-3000 words). Typically, a workshop 
lasts 1-1 ½ hours, where a theme is presented during 10-15-minutes. 
Thereafter audience members become participants, and together with 
presenters make or discuss something concerning the theme. At the end 
there is a 10-15 minute wrap-up. The purpose of the workshop could be to 
aid the presenters in their research or to come up with a common good, 
something all participants can use.

Panel presentations (a number of full papers or extended abstracts). 
Typically, a panel lasts for 1-1 ½ hours, and consists of a number of 
10-15-minute presentations, followed by a longer discussion. There must 
be a common theme to the panel. The panelists decide if they submit a 
full paper.



General Guidelines for Paper Presentation Abstracts 

The word limit for abstracts is 500 words (references not included). The 
abstracts should be written in clear and concise English, followed by 
five keywords. 

All abstracts have to be addressed to a specific conference division or 
temporary working group (listed below). 

Submission of multiple abstracts is allowed, but one can only be the 
main author of one submission. If multiple abstract submissions from the 
same author are accepted, the author must decide which one’s she/he will 
present. However, one can still co-author other accepted papers in 
addition to the main one. 

Incomplete abstracts will not be reviewed. Abstracts can be modified 
until submission deadline. 



Guidelines for Panel Abstracts 

The guidelines for panels follow those of general abstract guidelines, 
but with the following additions: 


A panel session must have a 400-word description of the theme of the 
panel, a brief account that specifies why this topic is important, and a 
clear explanation of how it contributes to the overall work of the 
conference division or working group 

A list of suggested panellists and titles of papers and a 300-word 
abstract for each paper in the panel. 

A panel session proposal must include the name of the contact person for 
the panel. The contact person will act as organizer of the panel session 
and is responsible for communication with the chairs and co-chairs of 
the hosting division or temporary working group as a representative of 
the whole panel group. 

By default, the contact person will act as a moderator of the panel 
session. Alternatively, an outside moderator can be used. In this case, 
the contact information of the suggested moderator should also be 
included in the panel proposal.
