VIII Nordic-Scottish Conference on Rural and Regional Development  

Akureyri Iceland, September 22-25, 2005

 

INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS

 

Requirements for a paper submission

Papers should be submitted by Sept. 7th 2005, given that an abstract has been submitted and accepted by the conference organizers.

Papers should be in a word for windows format, font size 12, line spacing 1,5 and main text should preferably not exceed 15 pages. Graphs and illustrations are encouraged.

Papers should include the name and position of the author(s), and the name of the institute/organization where the author(s) is employed or associated with, as well as the author(s) e-mail address. Each paper should start with an abstract of max. 400 words.

All abstracts that have been accepted will be copied and distributed with the conference materials at the time of the conference. Distribution of full papers is the responsibility of each author/presenter. We, however, encourage participants to bring with them at least 20 copies of their full papers for distribution at the conference. 

Please note that submitting a full paper is not an absolute requirement for presenting at the conference. The acceptance of an abstract is, therefore, sufficient. However, 10-12 full papers will be selected for a publication of the conference proceedings. Only those submitting a full paper have the opportunity of being selected as contributors to this publication.

Requirements for presentations

Presentations will take place either in the form of interactive lectures or as poster presentations.

Those contributing in the form of a lecture have 30 minutes each. These 30 minutes should include around 10 minutes for questions and discussions. Use of visual materials (slides), preferably on an electronic format (powerpoint), is very much encouraged. A computer and an electronic projector, as well as a regular overhead projector, will be provided at the conference venue. Those wanting to use a powerpoint slide show should e-mail a copy of their show to elina@unak.is no later than Friday Sept. 16th.

A special session will be arranged for poster presentations, where those contributing in the form of a poster will have the opportunity to introduce their topic. Poster should be 70 cm in width and 100 cm in height. Posters can be either in a black&white or colour format. Mixture of texts, pictures and graphic representations are encouraged. Each participant is responsible of having his/her poster printed and brought to the conference.
