A maximum of two presentations per participant can be registered. Each presentation and panel must be accompanied by an abstract. The abstract will be crucial for determining the acceptance of the submission based on quality.
Registered participants will have the opportunity to listen to a number of presentations online. Presentations will however not be recorded or shared beyond the conference dates.

Requirements for abstracts of proposed individual presentations and panels
Two reviewers will decide on the acceptance or rejection of presentations according to the following criteria:
- Does the paper have a clear research question?
- Does the paper develop an argument, test a hypothesis or answer the question using its own empirical, source-based, theory- or literature-based research?
- Does the article refer to the current state of research or literature on the topic?
- Is the contribution scientifically innovative?
The review of the proposed panels will take into account the following questions:
- Do all contributions meet academic standards?
- Does the panel promise a coherent contribution?
- Are the papers all well matched?
The panel coordinators are jointly responsible for the quality control of the contributions and may reject presentations due to poor quality of the abstracts.
When formulating your abstracts, please ensure that these requirements are met.
