Hold the Date! June 9-11th, 2021, 2-5pm (BST)
The last year has seen dramatic changes in the way we approach our research. As COVID-19 cases rose, research laboratories, and data collection opportunities in-person all closed. The world went into lockdown. Our usual work activities were halted or pivoted online.
After a year of change, it is time to reflect on the challenges and the opportunities we have experienced as a result of the pandemic.
The European Chapter (EC) and European Student Chapter (ESC) of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) are seeking your contributions!
Submission Guidelines
Contributions may be a presentation talk (15 min) or a poster presentation (10 min; for students only). For all contribution submissions, we request an extended abstract (500-1,000 words, including references in APA format, and written in English). You will find our template here. Submissions are due on: Friday, May 28th, 2021.Please submit via Easychair. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed.
We require all authors of accepted submission to upload their abstract with a CC-BY 4.0 International License at Zenodo (community: Information Science Trends - ASIS&T European Chapter Series)
Best Student Poster Contest
Information Science students are invited to submit posters about their research. Poster sessions will be held each day, spanning the topics of each track. Poster presentations will be 10 min in length. Please submit an extended, structured abstract and choose the submission type “poster” in the submission form. All posters will be entered in a Best Poster competition. Students are defined as BA/BSc, MA/MSc, or PhD students within Information Science. You need to verify your status and name your supervisors.
