Abstract & Paper submission

Welcome to the abstract / final paper submission process. Contributions to EDULEARN26 (abstracts and papers) should only be submitted online.

To ensure that your abstract submission is completed without a hitch, we kindly suggest that you first review the following deadlines and dates, and familiarise yourself with the submission guidelines.

Submission guidelines for oral, poster and virtual modalities

Abstract submission - Key points:

• Abstracts should be submitted on-line through the MyIATED platform
• To do so, please sign in with your user and password.
• New users should create their MyIATED account first.
• The deadline for abstract submission is March 12th, 2026.
• All abstracts must be submitted and presented in English.
• Abstracts should be within the scope of the conference topic areas.
• Please remember that a single author registration can cover a maximum of 2 abstracts.

Abstract submission - Further guidelines:

• Avoid citing sources in your abstract. The abstract should be self-contained and fully understandable without reference to other sources.
• Define abbreviations the first time they appear in your text. Example: HEA (Higher Education Area), before being used as an abbreviation only. Abbreviations or their definitions should not be used in the title.
• Complex mathematical formulas should be avoided. For the symbols ≤ or ≥, type instead <= or >=.
• Tables, charts or other graphics may not be included in the abstract and will be deleted by the editors.
• The maximum length is 3500 characters including spaces.
• The minimum number of characters for an abstract to be reviewed is 1000, including spaces.
• Authors should indicate whether their presentation preference is oral, poster or virtual. The Programme Committee reserves the right to decide on the final allocation and presentation method.
• After having registered as an author, you will receive a confirmation by email.
• After registering a new abstract, you will receive an email with your abstract ID. This abstract is still editable.
• You can make corrections or delete editable abstracts, or register new abstracts until the deadline: March 12th, 2026.
• When your abstract is ready, you will be able to send it for evaluation. It will no longer be editable. Abstracts are automatically sent for evaluation after the submission deadline.
• All participants will be notified by April 9th, 2026 about whether their abstracts have been accepted, rejected or if they need modifications.
• If you run into any problems during the submission process or you do not receive an email confirmation, please contact the Conference Secretary at edulearn26@iated.org.

Final paper submission:

• If your abstract is accepted, a Final Paper should be submitted. The length of the final paper should be between 4 and 10 pages (including references). You will be able to download a customized template of the Final Paper which includes your title and author details.
• A paper should contain the description of your study and should follow the general structure of Abstract, Introduction, Methodology, Results, Conclusions, Acknowledgements (if applicable) and References.
• Please note that the title and the list of authors should coincide with those of the accepted abstract.
• All references should be cited according to the Bibliography and Citation Style.
• All papers will be submitted for evaluation. If any minor or major modification is requested, the authors are notified about it and are provided a new deadline to resubmit the proposal.
• Contributions will only be published in the EDULEARN26 Proceedings if at least one of the authors of the paper is registered before May 7th, 2026 (this applies to both in-person and virtual participants).
• If you wish to be a session chair, please email your request to edulearn26@iated.org and indicate the topic area in which you are interested. To be a session chair, you must first be a registered participant of the conference.
