Call for Intensives
SPACE’s “Call for Intensives” is an opportunity to contribute to the conferences that incorporate a spectrum of possibilities, including but not limited to the presentation of a concept/notion, research in progress, or incomplete research demanding a start for potential future collaborations. The formats for the intensives are as follows.
- Format 1: Poster and PowerPoint presentation
- Format 2: PowerPoint presentation.
We aim to create opportunities for developing the research that has yet to be completed but needs external networking support for its full accomplishments. Intensives’ presentations are not separated from other presentations at the conferences. They perform as part of sessions to introduce and discuss these projects with the academics and professionals of various disciplines.
Requirements:
1. The initial submission should include an abstract of a maximum of 250 words. This short abstract would need to be fully presented in any of the two selected formats mentioned above. It is necessary to clearly state the main concern or question under investigation and the potential outcome(s) of the research. It is also recommended to include describing the research stage and your expectations, such as asking for advice, looking for potential collaborators or academic partners to develop the research, requiring suggestions on helpful references, etc.
2. Upon approval of the short abstract, the presenter should submit an extended abstract of up to 1000 words elaborating on further details. The extended abstract (and poster if you have one) will be published in the annual SPACE Conferences abstract book; thus, applying a minimum of 5 references is highly recommended.
Notes:
1- In the case of selecting the mode of “Poster and PowerPoint Presentation”, it is suggested to apply the presentation sizes “50x70cm” or “70x100cm” with the conference name and SPACE Logo on it and their place depending on your design. Other preferred sizes are unfortunately not acceptable as they will be placed on the conference webpage. Please remember that as our conferences are hybrid in terms of attendance (unless otherwise announced), we do not hang the posters at the conference venue, and you will need to prepare a PowerPoint presentation to present your work at the conference for a 15-20-minute time slot.
2- Intensive submissions for both on-site and virtual attendance should be registered from the Oral Presentation Category.
Submission and Guidelines
The SPACE International Journal of Conference Proceedings will publish full papers. It is an interdisciplinary, international academic, refereed journal designed to publish conference papers mainly presented at SPACE International Journal of Conference Proceedings. It is an online journal published twice a year by SPACE Studies Publications. All articles submitted to the SPACE International Conferences have undergone rigorous double-blind peer review by two referees based on initial editor’s screening.
Guidelines for the papers that will be submitted to the SPACE International Conferences are explained in detail on the Instructions for Authors page as part of the Journal specifically designed to publish the conference papers presented at our Conferences. These guidelines form the layout of the paper and involve a title, abstract (maximum of 250 words), keywords, sections and headings, tables, figures, equations, acknowledgements, references, figures, tables, and references. Please read the instructions, which detail everything you need to submit your conference paper to this Journal, and please follow them closely in order to ensure your paper matches all the requirements of the Journal.
You will not submit your full paper if you consider attending the Conference from the Oral Presentation Category. All the abstracts from the SPACE International Conferences are published in the Annual Conference Abstracts book at the end of each year. Your abstract will be published in the abstract book. If you prefer to publish an extended abstract and/or your poster, please email your preference to space@spacestudies.co.uk and upload the related document simply to the submission system.

Once you are accepted, you may or may not need to resubmit, depending on the reviewer’s comments.
