Call for Presentations


Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit high quality presentation abstracts. IFSI will use a novel approach to forum proceedings which will feature a collection of multi-media presentation formats (abstract, PPT, Video Recording of Presentation)

Unlike a traditional academic forum or conference, IFSI will feature multi-media forum proceedings. Selected contributions will be published on the event website, including:

  • A video recording of the presentation
  • A copy of the presentation slides (PPT)
  • The submitted abstract (250–500 words)
  • A transcript of the presentation

Presentation Abstract Submission Guidelines

We welcome submissions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working on innovative approaches related to the 3 forum themes and 6 forum tracks.

All submissions for presentation will undergo a peer-review process led by the event’s Steering Committee. Selected submissions will be invited to present at the online forum and be included in the multi-media proceedings. The length of a Presentation Abstract should be 250-500 words. If your Presentation is accepted, you will have 15 minutes to present with 5 minutes for questions (i.e., 20 minutes in total).
