• Panel Discussion: Proposals from those who would like to facilitate a panel discussion are welcomed. The proposals may address any of the topics falling within the scope of the conference themes. Panel Discussions provide an opportunity for public discussion amongst a selected group of panellists. Central to the success of a panel discussion is the choice of a good topic as the focus for discussion and panellists who bring differing perspectives and are confident in making clear arguments in a live situation. Panels should comprise of three to five scholars who present their arguments; a discussant offers critical comment on the arguments made and the discussion is opened up to the participating audience. The proposal must include:
  • Title,
  • Panel Chair(s) (if necessary),
  • Speakers Name,
  • Affiliation and Email,
  • Scope,
  • Objective and motivation.

  The WCICSS-2025 will set aside space for those who wish to pursue discussion of a particular topic or issue. Interested individuals should submit a proposal not more than 400 words, on or before the 1st of March, 2025. In addition, the proposal should indicate the duration of the panel discussion (preferred duration is 1 hour 20 minutes).

If you are interested in organising Panel Discussion for the WCICSS-2025, please email your proposal to the pandis@wcicss.org. Submissions should be in MS Word format.

• Virtual Presentation (Video Conferencing): We understand that some presenters will not be able to make the trip to Oxford to present their research work mainly due to financial and/or political restrictions on travel. WCICSS-2025 has therefore instituted a virtual presentation system to allow the authors of accepted abstracts the same publication opportunities as regular presenters. A research works submitted without the participant attending the conference in person, but presented via video conferencing are refereed and published (if accepted) in the conference proceedings.
