Guidelines for presenters and chairs
Mentoring lunch
On August 22 (Thursday, 2nd day of conference), there is the opportunity to take part in a mentoring lunch during the lunch break. For this purpose, we form tandems consisting of one PhD candidate and one postdoc/professor. At this lunch, the PhD candidate has the opportunity to talk to a more experienced researcher from another lab, ask questions, or receive feedback on his/her presentation. The mentors can discover more about new and current research at other chairs, share their expertise, and support junior researchers. It is also possible to arrange individual appointments for the mentoring meeting.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Networking dinner
We warmly invite all participants to take part in the Networking Dinner, on August 22, 2024 at Neckawa (former Brauwerk Freistil Tübingen), next to the Neckar river. The dinner location will be open for you from 7 pm. Please do not forget to bring your badge!
You have received your ticket with your registration.
The menu includes vegetarian and vegan options.
Punt trip (Stocherkahnfahrt)
One of the highlights of Tübingen are the famous punting boats. After a long day at the conference, you can look forward to sailing across the Neckar river on a punting boat with a cool drink in your hand and discovering nature and Tübingen's beautiful old town from a different perspective.
Table tennis tournament
After our last conference in Zollikofen in 2022, a table tennis tournament is of course a must. Compete for a rematch or challenge your colleagues. Or end the evening simply enjoying snacks and drinks.
JURE Social event
Enjoy the summer with us at Tübingen in the green!
We
planned a nice social event for the JURE members of SIG 6 and
7 one day before the official conference starts.
On August 20, 2024,
after starting the day with brunch at Café Ludwigs, we will walk along the plane tree avenue on the Neckar island by the water and thorugh the beautiful old town of Tübingen,
ending with picnic at the old botanical garden. After a sunny day of chatting,
networking, socializing, and having fun with other PhD students and JURE
members, we will meet for a joint dinner at Saints & Scholars, which is
also open for non-JURE conference participants.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Tanja Habermeyer (SIG 6 JURE coordinator) at tanja.habermeyer@uzh.ch or Salome Wagner (SIG 7 JURE coordinator) at s.wagner@dipf.de.

Calls for submissions and guidelines
Presentation formats
Symposia
Symposia include 4 closely related papers (12 minutes of presentation and 3 minutes for clarification questions) followed by a discussion by the discussant (10 minutes) and an exchange with the audience (15 minutes). Multiple time slots are already reserved for this presentation format.
The contributions should come from at least two different countries and three different universities (the contribution of a discussant counts as an extra country/ university). The overall proposal should include a general description (see requirements for symposium as a whole) and the paper contributions following the paper presentation format. Please prepare your proposal according to the submission guidelines.
Single paper
This format allows researchers to present their empirical or theoretical work. Presentations have a duration of 15 minutes (12 minutes of presentation and 3 minutes of discussion). Please prepare your proposal according to the submission guidelines.
Posters & Demonstrations
Please provide the scientific posters in portrait format and A0 size.
We plan for substantial length and high attendance poster sessions (including demo presentations) which last 60 minutes in total. The sessions will start with 2-minutes Blitz presentations in plenary in which everyone can briefly pitch their topic, ensuring enough time for discussion to make this an interactive format.
Please
do not use a PowerPoint presentation for this short pitch! We ask you
to prepare yourself accordingly so that you can arouse the interest of
the audience in a few sentences. We will be strict on time so it is your
responsibility to stay within the 2 minutes time limit. For this
purpose, the posters/demos have been divided into three content-related
groups, which will take place in parallel so that there is enough time
for the actual poster walk/demo presentations afterwards. After the lightning round, you can present your poster/demo in detail in face-to-face discussions.
ICT Demonstrations allow presenters to display, explain and familiarize users with a potentially useful teaching or research tool or method. The presentation may include references to completed research, but the point of the session is to demonstrate the tool, not present the research for criticism. The audience may offer their viewpoints and share their experiences with similar tools or different tools for the same purpose.
No-or-not-perfect data presentations
This format allows presenters to present and discuss empirical work at an early stage (research ideas or work in progress). Presentations last 15 minutes (8 minutes of presentations and 7 minutes of discussion). Please prepare your proposal according to the submission guidelines.

We made an effort to keep the registration fees low while allowing for a great conference experience. The networking dinner is included in the fees.

Code of conduct
EARLI is committed to provide the best possible circumstances in which its members can positively and safely share their research and exchange their ideas.

It is therefore a requirement for participation in this year's conference to read the EARLI Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct as well as our Conference Code of Conduct, to agree to both as part of the registration process, and to behave accordingly.
Furthermore, we have set up a “Safe Conference Care Team” (SCCT)
that people can contact during the conference if any issues emerge by
speaking to them personally during the conference or by sending them an
e-mail:
- Iris Backfisch (member of the local organizing committee): iris.backfisch@uni-tuebingen.de

TRAVEL
About the arrival: As you may have seen, there is currently a construction site, which is why there will be no trains between Stuttgart and Tübingen during our conference.
For those of you traveling from Stuttgart by train: There are reliable replacement buses that will take you directly to Tübingen. It is a little complicated to change at Stuttgart main station. Simply follow the purple line on the ground marked IRE6 (first left through the pedestrian tunnel, then into the station building and through the subway underpass). At the replacement bus stop there are also employees of the transport company who you can ask at any time.
