Call for Extended Abstracts

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract (500–1,000 words, in English) describing original research, conceptual development, case studies, or innovative practices that have not been published or are not under review elsewhere. Each submission should clearly indicate the strand(s) to which it contributes. 

Extended abstracts should include:

• Objectives and significance of the work, including its contribution to the conference theme.
• Theoretical, methodological, or design approach, with sufficient detail to understand the work’s grounding and rigor.
• Key findings, implications, or expected outcomes, with a focus on relevance for research, practice, and/or policy.
• Relevant references, using a consistent citation style (APA 7th is recommended in the template).

To support authors, the conference provides an AIFE 2026 Extended Abstract Template specifying formatting requirements (e.g., Times New Roman 12 pt font, single spacing, A4 page size, no page numbers, and structure of sections such as Introduction/Rationale, Framework, Methodology, Findings, Discussion, Acknowledgements, and References). Authors should prepare their submissions using this template.

All submissions will undergo peer review based on criteria such as relevance, originality, rigour, and clarity. Accepted abstracts will be published in the AIFE 2026 Proceedings and presented at the conference in formats such as oral presentations, symposium contributions, and interactive sessions.
