All applicants must use the official Submission Form, and include:

•  An abstract (max 1300 characters)  

For workshops or alternative formats: 
Use the same form and include a title and a description of your proposed format. 

Multiple submissions from an individual or group are welcome. However, to maintain a diverse and balanced programme, each accepted submission must have one registered presenter. 

By submitting an abstract, you agree that, if accepted, at least one author will register and attend the full conference. 

• Round 1 Authors: Must confirm and register before 1 September 2025 

• Round 2 Authors: Must confirm and register by 19 December 2025 

Abstract length is up to 1300 characters with a working title of up to 300 characters. 

An abstract is a window into your work. In 1300 characters or less your abstract should provide abstract reviewers with a clear and concise summary of what you will present on at the conference. Try to make your abstract enticing, using plain language. Succinctly outline why the study is important, how you did your study, how your programme was evaluated, your findings, why the reviewer should care about your work, and how it is important for the field. 

It is the only information a reviewer will have about your work so it must provide enough information to stand on its own. 

Abstract submitters can submit abstracts on one of the following: 

• Research 

• Programmes and practice-based knowledge 

• See tips on how to write a good conference abstract here.

• Relevance: Does it address a key theme or area of debate? Will it be of interest? 

• Clarity/purpose: Are the objectives clear and well presented? 

• Methods: Is the data analysis and interpretation appropriate? Is the methodology used appropriately 

• Significance: Are the study/programme/policy findings significant? Are the conclusions clear and appropriate? 

• Contribution: Does it provide recommendations for future projects/policy making?

An abstract is short but powerful statement that succinctly describes a research project, policy or programme. It should contain the scope, purpose, results and contents of the work, and is an original summary of the larger report. It provides reviewers with enough information to evaluate quality, interest and innovation i.e. why is the research important; what problem does it address; methods used; results and implications for the field and key words. Please see the above page for further details.

Abstract submissions for Round 2 will open on 1st September 2025 and will close on 31 October 2025 (23:59 UTC). Please see the above page for more information.
