TRANSDISCIPLINARY ACTIVITIES/PANELS
This is an open format area of the conference that includes transdisciplinary workshops, creative activities or even the proposal of a panel or roundtable with specific goals and participants, always focusing on key issues related to the main theme of the conference. The transdisciplinary activities will be allocated a 90 minute session and will run in parallel to the paper sessions. Transdisciplinary activities will also have the option to publish a abstract or short paper in the proceedings.
INSTALLATIONS / PERFORMANCES
Although most of the artistic elements of the conference will be delivered through our partnership with Floating Land 2013, we are also considering submissions for creative works that can be installed in and around the conference venue (including outdoor locations). It is essential these creative works are directly related to the conference theme and will be managed and installed by the artist. Artist biographies and program notes will be published in the conference proceedings. When you upload your abstract you can upload additional specification information, images etc as an attachment.
Please note that submissions via Easychair are limited to 20MB. If the files included in your submission exceed this size, please include a URL to your creative work in the attachment instead.
