The Planning Committee for the Second ISCR Conference in Padova, Italy, June 19-23, Invites you to Submit your Work
Embodied Cognition and Intersubjectivity in Uncertain Times: Interdisciplinary Frameworks for Contemplative Research and Education
The deadline for submission has been extended to Monday March 4th at 12am EST.
The ISCR 2024 is an international conference for rigorous interdisciplinary investigation of contemplative practices in diverse contexts. This year’s special theme is
Embodied Cognition and Intersubjectivity in Uncertain Times: Interdisciplinary Frameworks for Contemplative Research and Education
The conference will feature plenary sessions, contemplative practice workshops, and individual presentations and concurrent panels on a diverse range of topics and best practices within contemplative research, including:
- Basic and Clinical Sciences;
- Cultural, Religious, and Philosophical Studies on Contemplative Practices;
- Theory and Practice of Contemplative Education
Topics of particular interest will be proposals that examine how contemplative practices can contribute to enhancing intersubjective values such as empathy and compassion, social connectivity and the promotion of individual and societal flourishing through reducing the polarization and tribalism that infects our world today. We are also particularly interested in contributions featuring interdisciplinary cross-fertilization between the Sciences, Humanities, and Education.
Sessions and events will provide a range of opportunities, including engagement with some of the world’s leading contemplative researchers, discovery and discussion of latest findings, introduction to a range of contemplative practices, opportunities to discover best practices for interdisciplinary research as well as career development and networking.
Individuals can submit to present in the following formats:
Panel Presentation (3-5 people)
60 or 90 Minutes
Groups may submit abstracts for 60 or 90 minute oral presentations or discussions with 3-5 presenters, one of whom is responsible for presiding over the discussion as both moderator and timekeeper.We accept all proposals but encourage ones that are interdisciplinary. Please be sure to include contact information for each presenter and moderator in the proposal.
Individual Presentation
20 Minutes
(may be thematically grouped)
Individuals may submit abstracts for 20-minute oral presentations, which may be grouped together thematically by our reviewers. Please note, due to space and time limitations, we will be accepting a limited number of individual presentations—we therefore encourage applicants to coordinate on a panel, or submit a poster presentation.
*If your Abstract is not selected for an Individual Presentation, you can have it considered for a Poster
Poster Presentation
A Poster can also be considered for a Data Blitz [Mini-Presentation])
Individuals may submit abstracts for a poster presentation to be presented during concurrent 90-minutes poster sessions. Posters may include new research results as well as theoretical, historical, textual, or other relevant scholarship, as well as a work in progress or study protocols. Descriptions should provide sufficient specificity of content to allow the ISCR Review Committee to adequately evaluate the proposal.
