PARTICIPATION MODALITIES

Face-to-face Congress Modalities

There are several types of participation in the 3rd World Congress of Transdisciplinarity, either individually or collectively: lectures, round tables, symposiums, posters. Proposals for cultural, artistic, and spiritual* activities are welcomed, such as exhibitions, performances, meditation sessions, yoga, and rituals.

In all cases, the proposal must be sent through template/form until July 31, 2022.

They, with no exception, will be submitted to a selection process held by the Academic Program Committee. The accepted proposals will take part of the Congress Program. Confirmation of acceptance is sent in July 2022.

* In this event, spirituality is considered in a broad sense.

1. Lecture papers

Participation consisting of 20 minutes of exposition and 5 minutes for discussion. The presentations can be individual or collective (maximum of two participants). Once the proposal is approved, the Academic Program Committee will organize the presentations in round tables depending on the central themes.

Requirements:
To present a proposal for a paper, an abstract should be sent specifying the following: research questions, objectives and theoretical-methodological approaches.

The extension of the summary is a maximum of 1200 characters spaces included, 12-point Arial font with 1.5 spacing, in a single paragraph with no more than 5 keywords.

2. Round tables

A round table brings together four papers to discuss a topic related to the thematic areas and sub-themes, where each speaker will have 20 minutes of exposition. At the end of the speakers’ participation, 20 minutes will be allocated to open the discussion to the public. The round tables are created by the Congress organizers considering the central themes; however, it is possible for a coordinator to propose the holding of a round table.

Requirements:
Participants must submit a summary of their paper, summarizing the topic that is addressed, including an introduction, body of the topic and conclusions.

3. Symposia

The symposia are proposed by a coordinator who gathers 4 to 6 participants to discuss, analyze and deepen on a problem related to the central themes. The objective is for each participant to take part in the debate giving their point of view and presenting theoretical-practical presentations on transdisciplinarity. This means that not only the theory is addressed, but also the applications of transdisciplinary epistemology.

Requirements:
The coordinator should submit a general symposium summary of 1600-character spaces included, with 12-point Arial font and 1.5 spacing, and should incorporate the summaries of the participating papers with an extension no longer than 1200 characters with 12-point Arial font with 1.5 spacing, in a single paragraph and no more than 5 keywords.
