NEW deadline for abstract submission
Due to a high number of requests, the deadline for abstract submission has been extended until February 24th, 2019 at 23:59 GMT
We invite music therapists as well as arts therapists, allied health professionals, educators and community arts practitioners to submit proposals that consider the symposium’s theme and topics in the following formats:
An oral presentation refers to a developed academic topic, policy area, an ongoing project or program evaluation, research (please include: description, aim, methods and results), or case studies. The duration allocated for each oral presentation is 15 minutes, with an additional 5 minutes for questions.
A poster presentation is designed to allow the presenter to have a static image of text and graphics describing preliminary findings from research or published papers, description of programs or their activities or other clinical and creative work completed in the field related to the conferences subthemes. Work being submitted in a poster format must lend itself well to visual displays and representations. These sessions allow for engagement in informal discussions about the work with interested participants throughout the conference.
A workshop is an opportunity for a group of interested participants to be engaged in intensive discussion and activity on a particular topic. A workshop can feature educational material with a particular focus on emerging trends, promising practices, applied research and replicable programs. In addition to building new knowledge, workshops can educate participants on particular skills that can be used in a medical, clinical or educational setting. These sessions may be structured in a form of a crafted panel, a dialogue or debate, case studies and interactive-experiential activities. Each workshop session includes two 45-minute sessions
Due to a high number of requests, the deadline for abstract submission has been extended until February 24th, 2019 at 23:59 GMT

Abstracts must include sufficient information for reviewers to judge the nature and significance
of the topic, the adequacy of the investigative strategy, the nature of the results, and the
conclusions. The abstract should summarize the substantive results of the work and not merely
list topics to be discussed.
