Paper Proposal
As the number of papers which can be presented is limited by the number of parallel sessions, only papers which cover topics with relevance to one of the sub-themes will be selected for presentation. Furthermore papers will be assessed against the following criteria:
- There is a clear focus of the paper which will be of interest to the participants of the conference.
- The argument, development, and structure of the paper are logical, coherent and understandable.
A paper proposal should:
- indicate the conference sub-theme,
- state the topic covered in the paper,
- identify the author(s),
- identify the organization of the author(s),
- specify any audio-visual requirements,
- be outlined in no more than 1000 words,
- be accompanied by a 100 – 150 word abstract, and
- be prepared in 12 point Times New Roman font.
Poster Proposal
Proposals for poster presentations on any topic related to one of the sub-themes will be considered. The poster format is well suited for delegates to present their quality assurance systems or procedures as this will facilitate a discussion between delegates of a range of aspects related to these procedures and for presenters to get feedback on these.
The poster should have a topic, the name(s) of the presenter(s) and should elaborate on its topics through text and/or graphics such as tables, drawings or charts. They will be exhibited in the areas where tea and coffee are served, and a session is also reserved in the program for contributors to present their posters.
A poster proposal should:
- be no more that 250 words in length,
- identify the presenter(s)
- identify the organization of the presenter(s)
- include information on the title or topic,
- include an abstract explaining the intent of the poster, and
- be prepared in 12 point Times New Roman font.
