Several different types of submissions can be made, such as completed research, but also ongoing research, reflections & viewpoints, posters, workshops. The conference organises a PhD Colloquium and offers a limited number of PhD bursaries.
We invite individuals from academic and applied backgrounds as well as from business, public authorities, NGOs, NPOs and education institutions to submit their research papers, reflections, posters as well as practitioner papers, panel or workshop proposals to the topics addressed in the tracks.
