Submission Formats
The AIEH2026 scientific program invites submissions in several formats, including Full Research Papers, Short Research Papers, Research Posters, Practice-Oriented Papers, Panels, and Symposia.
Full Research Papers (6 pages) Present mature research with comprehensive discussion of background, innovative design, and/or data analysis.
Short Research Papers (4 pages) Report significant but ongoing, smaller-scale, or briefly presented research, following the same evaluation criteria as full papers.
Research Posters (2 pages) Present early-stage or novel work and highlight key ideas for discussion, including illustrative figures for the poster session.
Practice-Oriented Papers (3 pages) Emphasize implementation and design principles, including research–practice partnerships, school-based implementations, and alternative knowledge approaches.
Papers should outline objectives, design and implementation processes, outcomes, lessons learned, and relevance, with practitioner-led contributions.
Panels (2 pages) Bring together multiple perspectives on a focused theme to foster critical discussion and audience engagement. Panel proposals should clearly state the topic, goals, panel
format, and the expertise of participants, highlighting the value of the discussion for conference attendees.
Symposia (6–8 pages) Bring together 3–6 papers under a shared theme to explore issues aligned with the focus of the AIEH conference. Proposals should demonstrate clear integrative value, rather
than a simple collection of related papers. A Symposium Chair must be designated in the proposal.
