Submission Guidelines

Oral Presentations

PhD students are invited to submit a short abstract of their work to be presented orally and discussed with a senior researcher. If accepted, the abstract will have to be resubmitted in an extended form in order to allow a more profound debate with the invited discussant. Presentations may cover theoretical and methodological ideas to be developed within the PhD project, as well as empirical findings, systematic literature reviews or meta-analyses already conducted during the PhD.

Oral presentations will be 15 minutes long, in Portuguese or English language, followed by a 15 minute discussion with a senior researcher. The digital support used (e.g., power point) must be written in English.

The discussants will be invited by the Scientific Committee for presentations belonging to their field of expertise.
The submission of both short and extended abstracts is mandatory for oral presentations. Specific guidelines are presented below.
