Acceptance for presentation at the Forum requires that the author, or at least the first author in the case of multi-author presentations, be registered - please see [ Forum Registration ].

The Forum program for 7 August will be similar to programs for previous Forums. Each presentation will be allocated 30 minutes in a parallel session. Any special requirements for scheduling should be requested at the time of submitting your abstract. In some cases we may schedule a "symposium" comprising 2, 3 or 4 consecutive presentations from a group of researchers. Requests for a "symposium" should be made at the time of submitting all of the abstracts for the proposed group of presentations. Another option that may be made available is a 55 minute "workshop" presentation.

WAIER encourages presenters to submit full written papers for post-Forum publication on the Forum Proceedings website. If you are interested in this option, please see [Advice to Authors] for details, including formatting, deadlines and submission method. Full written papers for the Proceedings may also be considered for peer review and publication in our journal Issues in Educational Research.
