As in previous years, the American Educational Research Association (AERA) has invited 蓝鸟视频to submit a representative symposium for inclusion in their annual conference 鈥� which next year will be held in person from April 11-14 in Philadelphia, PA.
As you will likely know, acceptance into the AERA program is very competitive and we are delighted that 蓝鸟视频has the opportunity to profile some of our leading research through this process. It is also part of strengthening our links with major international educational research associations. The selected members will importantly have the honour of representing 蓝鸟视频in this international forum.
We are inviting 蓝鸟视频members who are interested in this opportunity to represent AARE, to submit an Expression of Interest which includes a symposium proposal (see details of AERA's specifications below) to represent 蓝鸟视频at the 2024 AERA conference.
We welcome submissions that include researchers at different career stages, and proposals that draw on international networks where approriate.
Please note that as the opportunity is to represent 蓝鸟视频in this international forum:
- The organiser and Chair must be an 蓝鸟视频member.
- The lead author of all papers included must be an 蓝鸟视频member. We understand that some papers may have international or non-member colleagues involved as co-authors.
- The Discussant may be an 蓝鸟视频member or non-member, for example an international colleague who is not an 蓝鸟视频member.
At least one author of all papers included, who is an 蓝鸟视频member, must attend the AERA conference in person to present. If this is not possible, and unless there are extenuating circumstances, 蓝鸟视频reserves the right to reverse the decision and remove support. Please ensure that all presenters understand they will be expected to attend the conference if the symposium is selected.
To support this activity, 蓝鸟视频provides funding of up to $5000 per symposium to contribute to the travel costs of presenters. Reimbursements will be available with receipts. Members involved may decide how this support is distributed amongst the team. Only 蓝鸟视频members may access this support.
