SUBMISSION TYPES
In a Symposium or Round Table, professionals come into dialogue, pooling together their knowledge and views about a theme or specific issue. They provide an opportunity to examine this topic in depth from multiple perspectives.
Symposia or Round Tables consist of 3 to 5 short presentations, and a collective discussion to enhance presentations, and is thus an integral part of this session format. Therefore, each Symposium or Round Table has an organizer and/or a discussant.
We encourage conveners to bring together contributors from different countries or institutions. The emphasis is not on paper reading, but on dialogue, drawing connections, raising questions, highlighting issues, and utilizing audience participation.
The conveners of symposia should submit an abstract for the proposed symposium as well as for each individual presentation. They must name the discussant on the proposal form, as well as the names and affiliations of all individual presentations’ authors. Please note that every participant must register individually if the symposium or round table is accepted.
Duration: The duration of each symposium or round table is scheduled for 90-120 minutes: 15 to 20 minutes for each presentation/intervention (depending on the number of presentations), 30 to 45 minutes for collective discussion including the audience (depending on the number of presentations).

Workshops offered by one or more experts in a particular area constitute one of the core events of the conference.
Workshops aim at actively engaging participants in enriched learning procedures that help them link new theory and skill with the service they provide. They provide the context for an experiential, interactional and a “learning through doing and sharing” event. More specifically, a workshop may have one of the following alternative focuses, depending on its goal and format: experiential, skill development or interactional discussion. We particularly welcome creative workshops that operate on new formats, encouraging active and varied participation.
Workshops are usually addressed to a limited number of participants, to best serve their interactional quality. Please indicate the maximum number of participants and their required level of professional experience (low, middle, high).
Please note that every participant must register in order for the workshop to be included in the program.
Duration: The duration of each workshop is scheduled for 90 minutes.
(the organizing committee has the right to readjust the duration of the submissions if needed).

An oral communication is an oral presentation about a recent development in existential therapy and work. It may refer to a research study, clinical intervention, and practice and/or development of tools and methodology.
The open session consists of a specific number of oral presentations allowing time for discussion with the audience.
Duration: The time allocated for each presentation is 15 minutes, while the whole open session is scheduled for 90 minutes, as a final discussion with the audience of 30 minutes will follow.
In order to make discussion more relevant as well as encourage further collaboration the scientific committee will group oral communications by theme.
Please note that every participant must register in order for paper to be included in the program.

The poster session is a forum to foster interactions among researchers and practitioners. The poster session will give attendees at the conference an opportunity to learn informally about new and innovative work in progress and ongoing research in the field of existential therapy and interventions.
Preparing the poster

The proposals received will be evaluated by two independent reviewers based on the following elements according their type of presentation:
• New ideas grounded in scientific literature and research
• Clarity of theoretical premises and argument

• Clarity and systematicity in research methodology, where applicable
• Innovative forms of presentation
• Reflecting collaboration with colleagues from different countries, institutions, professions is highly encouraged.
• Drawing a connection between the presentation and one or more of the subject areas will be appreciated
It is noted that in cooperation with the main author the scientific committee bears the responsibility of adapting the type of proposal to fit best into the conference programme.
