Venue: Level 8 meeting room of Zoom https://unimelb.zoom.us/j/84162063610?pwd=sUMWKihx7DgSf6msnVkNbb8VGCc1ja.1&from=addon

Time: 12-1pm

Faculty of Education Graduate Researchers and academics are invited to submit a 200 word (max) abstract for a presentation (15 + 5mins) to be considered for the conference program.

Due to the high number of submissions for the faculty conference last year, we have made the decision to use the following criteria to assist in selecting presentations for the conference.

• Priority will be given to Graduate Researchers in their final 12 months prior to submission.
• Graduate Researchers need to have been successfully confirmed in order to be considered for a presentation.
• Any individual can only be lead presenter on one paper. Where one person is listed on multiple papers they may be asked to prioritise or consider a group presentation. This is to ensure we have a good representation of people from across the faculty.
• Presentations will be chosen to ensure that there is appropriate representation from across groups and centres and across career stage.
• Presentations from those that have received faculty seed funding are encouraged.
• Abstracts will be judged by a panel on:
  • Focus and relevance
  • Context and contribution
  • Design and methods
  • Results and finding
  • Clarity and composition

Abstracts should include a title, author names (and supervisor names in the case of GRs) and relate to the conference theme “What makes research remarkable? Who and what matters?”
