Important - Please Note: The ethos of the 'Forgiveness' project emphasises dialogue with the issues raised by the conference as a whole and engagement with the people attending the conference. These two elements are essential to the inter- and multi-disciplinary nature of the event. Over the past few years the success of our projects has rested on the continual interaction between delegates for the duration of the conference and beyond. The Steering Group feel it is essential that delegates should be present for the duration of the conference so as to facilitate the exchange of perspectives for which the conference strives, and which any publication should clearly demonstrate. Failure to attend for the duration of the metting will automatically exclude eligibility for inclusion in any of the project publiucations.
Papers should be of no more than 20 minutes duration (circa 8 pages).
Responses to Papers should be of no more than 10 minutes duration.
Work-in-Progress presentations should be of no more than 15 minutes
duration. The time allotted to workshops will be considered on an
individual basis. Other forms of presentation will be considered
on request.
Please note: Power point presentations are neither encouraged nor desired. Power point has been banned from all the projects we organise. You are advised to take note of this as you prepare your submission. Presenters are also strongly encouraged not to read their papers verbatim: draft papers will be avilable on the web site prior to the conference beginning. We hope that presenters will instead speak to the significant points raised in their papers.
500 abstracts are to be submitted by Friday 19th September 2008. These should be emailed either as an attachment or in the body of an email to both Organising Chairs: David White and Rob Fisher. Attachments may be in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF formats. Papers will be minimally double blind peer reveiwed (where appropriate); in practice our procedures usually entail that by the time an abstract is accepted, it will have been triple and quadruple blind peer reviewed.
Both the 500 word abstract and the draft paper will be available on this web site before the conference commences. Papers will initially be available in downloadable .pdf format; if time permits, they will also be available in Word format as well.
All conference papers will be eligible (subject to conditions) for publication
in an ISBN eBook with the Inter-Disciplinary Press.
Selected papers will go forward for inclusion in a hard copy ISBN themed volume(s) in the 'At The Interface/Probing the Boundaries' series.
The March conferences will be held in two venues: the Best Western Hotel Stieglbrau, Salzburg,
Austria, and the Crowne Plaza Hotel - The Pitter, Salzburg, Austria. The hotels are less than 200 yards apart (less than 1 minute walking time). Discounted accommodation is being offered at both the hotels.
