We are now accepting submissions of abstracts for presentations, posters, and sessions for the 2023 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy. Proposals submitted by the October 31st deadline will receive notification of their submission status by February 1, 2023. Submissions are through EasyChair here.
Individual Presentation Submissions
The Atlanta conference works with well developed, substantial abstracts only. At no stage do we require full papers. Abstracts are limited to 1,200 words. Our experience suggests that reviewers respond well to well-developed abstracts with a classic structure signposted with section headings: background and rationale, methods, results or anticipated results, significance – for example. Submissions are limited to text only (no figures or tables). Formal references are not required and do not tend to enhance the quality of abstracts.
We will create an e-book of abstracts and make it available at the conference and on the conference website going forward. Presenters will have the opportunity to improve their abstracts over the summer as their research develops. The deadline for the final version of the abstract to be submitted will be early in the fall.
Poster Submissions
We invite proposals for posters from students and post-doctoral fellows. Poster proposals are also 1200 word abstracts, following the above directions. Proposed work should be empirical in nature and reflect work in which the early career researcher has led the research, and/or played a significant role in the research. The poster session will be designed to be interactive and lively. Judging will be done during the session with a prize awarded during the meeting.
Session Panel Proposal
Sessions comprise a set of four related presentations. A panel proposal includes the session title and a short abstract of about 500 words describing the session plus a list of the associated presenters and their titles. In addition, each presenter must submit an abstract for their own presentation that begins by listing the session title (please list this above the presentation title). Session chairs should be sure to communicate the precise wording of the proposed session name to all session authors in advance of submission in order to facilitate the review and conference organization process.
Submission for Panel Presentations
Authors of presentations associated with panel sessions should complete the details below, and also begin their abstract with the name of the session organizer and the name of the panel session.
Topics
Submissions should address issues relevant to the science and innovation system. You will be asked to indicate which of the following topic area(s) your abstract addresses:
