ConfTool and the online payment platform are now available.

Information about different types of submissions
The scientific program includes many different types of activities open to proposals from conference participants:

Submissions of proposals

Restrictions

All submissions must use the PME48 template.

Submissions to ConfTool are only possible if the presenting author is registered in the ConfTool system and will only be reviewed if the presenting author pays the non-refundable conference deposit before the submission deadline. See the Registration page for more information about this process.

Furthermore, for accepted papers to be included in the proceedings, the presenting author has to make a full registration May 17, 2025 at the latest.

All presentations have to promote the major goals of the IGPME. In addition, please note that there are restrictions on the number of possible contributions:

Restrictions on number of submissions

You are allowed to submit up to one proposal of each type (but not combine the submission of Research Reports, Publication Reports and Oral Communications).

Restrictions on presenting authorship

You are allowed to be presenting author of only one of the three following options: a Research Report (including those bundled within a Colloquium), a Publication Report, or an Oral Communication. Further, you can be the presenting author of a Poster Presentation, a Research Forum, and a Working Group. Note that changing the presenting author after the review process is not allowed.

Applications for
Pre-Submission Support

The PME pre-submission support for Research Reports and Oral Communications is intended for novice or inexperienced researchers who have limited access to expert advice and who would like to receive guidance from more experienced PME researchers. Applicants should submit their paper to the coordinator who is appointed by the International Committee. The coordinator will then assign the paper to an appropriate mentor and ensure that the communication between the mentor and novice researcher proceeds smoothly.

Procedure

Authors who wish to have a mentor to compose a Research Report or Oral Communication should contact the coordinator as early as possible, but no later than December 8, 2024. The pre-submission support papers should be accompanied by a statement in which the authors describe:

1. their limited experience in writing research reports (or journal articles) and
2. their limited access to expert advice.

Mentors will correspond with the applicants and help strengthen their submitted papers. Please note that this procedure is meant to provide feedback on written reports. It is not meant as support for conducting research. This mentoring does not guarantee acceptance, as all submitted papers will still undergo the regular PME reviewing procedures.
