Submission categories

• Regular talks

Presentation of theoretical and empirical works, which can be live-streamed or locally realized in a conventional way. Submission of whole papers for their publication on proceedings will be optional.

After abstract review is completed, and only for those submissions that have been accepted, the organization proposes two other alternative possibilities of work presentation:

• Symposia (submission only from May 1st, 2018, after abstract review)

Authors whose abstracts were accepted for Regular Talks category can be convened to a symposium that include between 3 and 4 talks related to a central topic. Symposia will be developed at the second part of conference, so that most works have already been presented. The author of one of the works will be the symposium convener, and will present his/her paper live-streamed. The other two or three papers will already have been presented at the first part of the conference; during simposium their audiovisual record will be reproduced, and the chair will be in charge of introducing them and moderate the discussion, ensuring to link them around the shared central topic. The other authors may participate on questions and discussions. In case that one or more abstracts were rejected or accepted only as posters, organizers can propose other accepted abstracts in replacement to be part of the symposium.

• Keynotes

Out of accepted abstracts, the organizers will select one whose reviews have been excellent and whose larger dissemination is considered valuable, to be live-streamed without superposition of others activities in any hub. This decision remains in charge of ICMPC organizers.

• Posters

They will be discussed in local sessions. Authors will make a 1-minute video as an introduction to the poster, which will be available on the virtual platform of the event, and which could be presented live-streamed during the conference.

• Worshops/demostrations

Workshops will be live-streamed and demonstrations could be presented global or locally.

They consist of proposals of research-informed practice (creative, educational, therapeutic and so on) and will have between 30 and 60 minutes for their development.

• Language: all abstracts have to be written in ENGLISH. In case of any doubt with language, send us an email to icmpc2018.laplata@gmail.com
• Originality: all abstracts have to be originals.
• Amount of works per author: any person can present any number of abstracts, but the final program will not contain more than one presentation per author (as first or only author) per category.
• Extension: up to 500 words, including subtitles and references and without title, authors, affiliation, keywords and topic areas.
