Types of possible contributions

The 5th Forum offers the opportunity to submit various types of contributions aligned with the call for papers and one or more of the described thematic areas. These contributions may stem from research work or local, national, or international experiences, and may take the form of a poster, oral presentation, symposium, or round table.

Poster

A poster is a particularly effective format for briefly presenting scientific research or sharing an analysis of teaching practices or the development of educational tools. Posters are designed to visually convey information (charts, graphs, diagrams, etc.) and encourage on-site discussions. Poster sessions, which bring together several contributors, will last between 30 minutes and one hour. The time slots for poster presentations will be included in the event program. Presenters are expected to be present for the entire duration of their session to discuss their work with attendees.

Oral Presentation

An oral presentation is a formal communication of original scientific work (based on a scientific approach and data analysis), or an analysis of teaching practices or the development of educational tools. Four oral presentations, each lasting no more than 20 minutes, will be grouped into thematic sessions. Each session will conclude with a 10-minute discussion period for questions and feedback.

Proposals for both posters and oral presentations must be submitted electronically via the following form: https://forumtunisieneducation.org/formulaire-soumission/

Symposium

A symposium brings together researchers who share a common area of interest. Each presentation lasts 20 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes per session reserved for discussion. The symposium organizer coordinates the order of presentations and ensures sufficient time is set aside for interaction. The total duration of a symposium depends on the number of presentations:

  • 90 minutes (4 presentations)
  • 180 minutes (8 presentations)
  • 270 minutes (12 presentations)

A symposium may not include more than 50% of presentations where the first author is a student. Furthermore, students are not allowed to organize a symposium.

Proposals for symposia must be submitted electronically via the dedicated form: https://forumtunisieneducation.org/formulaire-de-soumission-pour-un-symposium/

Round Table

A round table gathers three to four experts from the same field, each working in different professional contexts. Its purpose is to stimulate dialogue and foster rich discussions. The moderator allocates 15 to 20 minutes to each speaker for their main contribution. The remaining 30 minutes are reserved for interactive discussions with the audience, who will be invited to ask questions and provide comments.

Proposals for round tables must be submitted electronically via the following form: https://forumtunisieneducation.org/tables-rondes/
