Contribution types
Depending on the type of contribution, different information is required for submission. You will find this information below.
Lecture/Poster:
Oral or poster presentations are available as a format for scientific presentations. Presentations or posters are assigned to thematic sessions and are usually discussed individually. Please indicate the desired type of presentation (oral or poster). The programme committee reserves the right to decide on the acceptance of a contribution and to determine the final form of presentation.
Symposium (usually 90 minutes):
A symposium allows a topic to be discussed from several perspectives. It begins with a short thematic introduction by the chairperson (usually the person submitting the symposium). This is followed by two to five coordinated contributions on the topic, after which there should be time for discussion between the speakers and participants. We accept abstracts for symposia in German and English. The additional submission of individual abstracts to the symposium contributions is generally not intended. The chairs and speakers of an accepted symposium will be listed as authors in the digital abstract volume. In the following, the “presenters” also include co-authors of individual contributions to a symposium.
Workshop (usually 90 minutes):
A workshop is a format whose didactic design should be significantly more interactive than the other formats (lecture/poster, symposium). The aim is to actively involve the workshop participants and enable a broad exchange between speakers and participants. The abstract and the workshop can be submitted or held in German or English. Organisers of an accepted workshop will be listed as authors in the digital abstract volume.
Pre-Conference (17.9.2025 from 9.00 – 12.30)
Abstracts for pre-conference workshops can also be submitted. These workshops can either have a (research) methodological or a content-related focus. Participation in a pre-conference can be booked in addition to or independently of conference participation.
