Presentations and Papers

Presentations

Most presentations take place in 60 - 75 minute panel sessions, with between 3 and 5 presentations in each. The chair of your session will decide whether questions are taken after each presentation, or as a panel after all presenters have spoken.

• Share slides in advance if possible. If you are presenting online, you have the option to share slides from your screen, or for the session host to share and advance slides for you. However, we would like to be able to archive copies of all slides on the website.

If you are presenting in person, we will line-up slides on a computer in the room, so need access to them in advance.

• Be mindful of time and audience. Presentations should target a length of 10 minutes.

We encourage you to practice your talk ahead of time, and focus your presentation on key findings and messages (in-depth methodology details can be supporting papers/extended abstracts etc.).

The symposium will have a mixed audience of researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

• Consider visual storytelling. If you have visuals (e.g. photos / diagrams) that help explain the forms of participation, or concepts, you are outlining, it can help interdisciplinary and cross-cultural understanding to prefer these to text on some slides.

Papers, posters and supporting materials

• If you submitted your abstract on the basis of a paper, please upload a paper to HotCRP and optionally, also upload supporting slides.
• If you submitted your abstract for paper or presentation, you have the option to upload only slides, or to upload slides and a supporting report or presentation.

We will publish supporting papers or presentation slides for each PAIRS contribution on the symposium website in advance for participants to read, and to be available after the event as a resource for other researchers and practitioners.

If you would prefer your contribution is not published on the PAIRS website (e.g. because it would prevent formal academic publication) please let us know by indicating this on HotCRP.

Work should be uploaded to HotCRP by updating (editing) your submission before the deadline.

For work supported by a paper or report we do not mandate a particular format or word limit.

• If you are preparing written work specifically for PAIRS, please keep in mind the interdisciplinary audience, use an established academic referencing format, and prefer brevity over length.
