Conference Proceedings

Following the conference, authors of accepted and delivered presentations will be invited to submit an article for the conference proceedings, to be published online in autumn 2023. Further details will be available at a later date.


Presentation Formats:

Paper Presentation (in-person presentation)

Paper presentations should report on theoretical or empirical research, ideally linked to practical application, and should offer innovative perspectives on one of the conference strands. Paper presentations should be of a standard suitable for publication. Paper presentations will last for 20 minutes, plus 5 minutes for Q&A.

Panel Sessions (in-person presentation)

A panel sessions allows a group (max. 5) of participants to present and debate issues relating to one of the conference strands. Presentation and discussion may report on theoretical or empirical research, ideally linked to a practical application; and debate within the panel may discuss the application, implications or conclusions of the presentations. Audience involvement is also welcome. Panel sessions will last for one hour. 

Panel sessions should ideally include participants from more than one organisation, representing different languages or situations. One participant should be nominated as the chair of the panel.

Workshops (in-person presentation)

Workshops are more dynamic and interactive parts of the conference programme, allowing delegates to learn new skills or techniques directly related to one of the conference strands. They will last for one hour.

Member Showcase Presentation (in-person presentation)

Each ALTE Full Member organisation has the opportunity to showcase current research they are conducting which seeks to influence the development or delivery of their products, and relates to the conference strands.  ALTE Associate Members are also eligible for a showcase presentation with additional sponsorship of the conference (please get in touch with ALTE if you are interested in this). A Member Showcase Presentation will last for 20 minutes, with 5 minutes for Q&A.

Abstracts for the member showcase presentations should be submitted in the normal way. They will be accepted, but will receive feedback from the review process. Each organisation can only have one showcase presentation.

Video Shorts (digital only presentation)

Especially suitable for those who believe they are unlikely to be able to attend the conference in person, abstracts are accepted for a short video presentation. The pre-recorded videos will be a maximum of 5 minutes long, and will explain the aim of a research project and the initial conclusions, or give a brief overview of a topic. There should be a link to one of the conference strands. Video short presenters should register for the conference and attend either virtually or in person.
