Abstract Submission Portal for GWCJS2026

• We are inviting abstracts for the following presentation types:

   

  • Oral Presentations (15 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A): Focused research findings, in-depth practice case studies, service evaluations or policy analyses. This is suitable for well-developed projects.
  • Poster Presentations: A visual display of research, service evaluations, or ongoing projects. Posters will be presented during dedicated interactive sessions, allowing for detailed, one-on-one discussion with attendees.
    • Guideline: Recommended size A3.
  • 10-Minute Pop-Up Presentations: Fast-paced, dynamic pitches for early-stage research, innovative ideas, or calls for collaboration. This format is ideal for sharing a single, powerful finding or concept and is a great way for new researchers and practitioners to get involved.
    • Guideline: Up to 3 slides, focusing on the core problem, your key takeaway, and next steps.
  • Reflective Themed Panels (60 minutes): A group of 3-4 presenters offering diverse perspectives on a shared topic, often pre-organised by a convenor.

   

  Abstract Format:

  • Word Limit: Maximum 300 words (excluding title and author details).
