Active Living and Environment Symposium 2019 is designed to facilitate and grow an international, multidisciplinary and multi-sector dialogue related to Active Living and Environment. This symposium builds on the success and delegates feedback from our first symposium of this nature held at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, in August 2017.
This multidisciplinary symposium will bring together international and national experts from multiple sectors including academia, government, public health, urban design, transportation and environment.
Symposium Themes
Symposium themes will include Health, Transportation, Environment and Sustainability.
Submission Guidelines
We welcome abstract submissions focusing on Health, Transportation, Environment and/or Sustainability. Creating active living environments requires expertise and sharing knowledge from multiple disciplines. Therefore, abstracts from all relevant fields of research and practice will be considered.
Abstracts can be submitted as:
- Research focused abstracts (describing findings from research studies)
- Practice/policy abstracts (describing programmes, interventions, case studies or impacts of policy or advocacy)
All abstracts are required to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Abstracts must be written in English and submitted as MS Word document.
- The body of the abstract is limited to 300 words. (Word limit includes headings but excludes title, author names, affiliations and support/funding source).
- For abstract title, authors and body of the abstract font use Arial 11 characters per inch.
- For authors’ affiliations use Arial 9 characters per inch.
- Use single spacing, and without hyphenating words at line breaks. Use hard returns only to end headings and paragraphs, not to rearrange lines.
- Title must be typed using title case, in bold and with no full stop at the end.
- Type full authors’ names followed by highest qualification (Peter Johnston PhD, Donella Smith MD, etc.)
- Following the authors’ names, type affiliation underneath the authors: Department, Institution, City, Country. For multiple affiliations, number them and list each affiliation on a new line.
- Abstract title, authors’ names and affiliations should be centered.
- The body of the abstract should be left-justified.
There is no limit on the number of abstracts an author may submit.
