WORKSHOP

A workshop is a 90-minute session for the exchange of information or work on a common issue, project, policy or shared interest related to the aims of the Conference. Presentations should be brief, allowing adequate time for reflective discussion and interaction. Workshop submissions need to be sessions related to scientific evidence of the work of professionals, as well as to practical skills or interventions developed or implemented in the field. Given the use of time needed for the development of a Workshop, only a limited number will be organised.

Workshop submissions are expected to include a chair.

The person acting as Chair of the Workshop is responsible for submitting the following (all in one document):

An abstract (maximum 300 words) describing the theme of the Workshop and how it will be delivered (pedagogical methods, etc.) emphasising the interactive aspects.

The shorter abstracts for each of the papers/contributions included in the proposed Workshop (maximum 150 words per contribution with name of the author(s), title of the presentation and content).

The length should not exceed 800 words in total.

The contributions included in the Workshop proposal may be authored by an individual or by a group. In cases where there is more than one author, one person should login and register as Author 1, and then add the rest of the co-authors as Author 2, Author 3., … . If you are unable to find a suitable theme to submit your proposal, then please use the ‘Open session’ category.

One person cannot submit more than 2 contributions or as the first author of any contribution to the Conference. However, participants can be co-authors in more than 2 contributions in the Conference.  In order to appear in the programme, all the co-authors of any contribution to this conference need to be registered.

The Conference will have Workshop sessions dedicated to oral presentation of papers in Spanish. If you wish to contribute to these sessions, please send your communication to the theme “open session in Spanish”.

Deadline for abstract submission is midnight on December 12th, 2024.
