A 15-minute oral presentation highlights the main themes of the research, viewpoint or educational project. The presentations will be grouped in sessions, in which a 15-minute interactive period of discussion will follow after a maximum of three presentations in 60 minutes.

Please note: PowerPoint presentation facilities will be available.

Round table paper sessions provide an excellent opportunity for interactive presentation styles through a 40-minute session. These sessions can provide more intimate opportunities to share work and to get to know other Congress participants. Individual presenters are assigned to numbered 10-seat tables in rooms where interested participants may gather for discussion with the presenter about their paper or project. This format is particularly appropriate for presentations addressing topics best pursued through extensive interactive discussions. These discussions will be held in English and it is expected that the individual presenters will have questions and key ideas only.

Please note: PowerPoint presentation facilities will not be available for this format.

ePosters will be grouped by themes and presented for the duration of the Congress. Two specific sessions will allow the author(s) to present their posters and interact with other Congress participants.

Please note: Instructions for ePoster preparation will be shared with accepted authors in due course.

A 60-minute workshop session organised by a team of facilitators responsible for the content and the dynamics of an interactive activity. Participants will be invited to explore an issue (or specific challenge, research question), contribute to the construction of a joint project, experiment with a pedagogical strategy/teaching format, or carry out other collaborative, experiential activities. A brief overview of the issue and objectives will be presented, after which the major part of the workshop will be devoted to participatory and active learning techniques to enable participants to bring their contributions to the workshop.

Please note: Only a limited number of workshops will be accepted by the Socio Scientific Committee. Participation in each workshop will be limited to a maximum number of attendees, who will be able to pre-register for workshops. PowerPoint presentation facilities will be available.

A 90-minute panel discussion presenting different perspectives on a topic or question related to one of the Congress themes.
