Research Talks
Talk Descriptions
There are three types of talks we are accepting proposals for.
Research Reports. This type of talk is for presentations of either finalized or preliminary research results.
Ideas for Research Studies/Preliminary Reports. This type of talk is for presenters who are in the design phase of a research study or looking for ideas on how to proceed with ongoing work. During the talk, they can present their research problem/question and their current plan for addressing it in order to solicit feedback on how to improve the study design.
RUME Proposals for Feedback. This type of talk is for researchers who are new to the RUME community and would like feedback in preparing their research for a presentation at the next RUME conference.
More details regarding the length and format of talks will be shared with presenters after submissions are reviewed in April.
Proposal Deadlines
Proposals for this conference are due March 15, 2023 by 11:59 pm (EST). Later submissions may still be considered. We also have an Early Bird Proposal Submission on March 1, 2023 by 11:59 pm (EST) for colleagues who need formal acceptance of their proposals to obtain travel funding. If you need formal acceptance before that, please email the conference organizers. Proposals must be submitted through the registration form.
Proposal Guidelines
Proposal submissions will be collected as part of the registration form, as opposed to submitting a PDF or Word document. All proposals must contain a title, abstract (with at most 500 words), and 3-5 keywords. To maximize the number of presenters, we will only accept one proposal per person.
Poster Presentations
If you would like to bring a poster, we will have space for posters to be displayed. Anyone may display a poster, regardless of whether or not you are giving a talk. Displaying a poster will give you the opportunity to talk with others about your research.
Poster presentations do not involve submitting a proposal. Proposals are just for Research Reports and Ideas for Research Studies talks.
