Strands are small groups of conference participants who, over the course of the conference, focus on specific areas related to the conference theme. Within these strands, participants who have had proposals accepted will give presentations (of up to 20 minutes) based on the accepted proposal, which are then followed by group discussion. Presentations are generally made individually, but may be made by small groups of 2 or 3 presenters.
We welcome proposals to present at the conference, which should be a summary of no more than 300 words of your planned presentation, including key questions to stimulate discussion.
Proposals should be submitted through the website: http://www.intedalliance.org/conferences/2019-rethinking-international-ed/call-for-proposals/#form
I've submitted a proposal, but I have not heard if it has been successful.
