Abstracts about work in progress, research ideas or early-stage works eliciting feedback, must be addressed in this session. Indeed, this session is suitable for idea exchange and open discussion of research projects and ideas in an early phase of development. Starting from this year, authors of abstracts, accepted to be presented in a work in progress session, are invited to produce a printed copy of a poster that presents the research in progress. Posters will be on display during the whole conference and there will be dedicated sessions to present and discuss them.

Structured-abstracts should comprise 250 words and should include:

• Purpose
• Design/Methodology /Approach/Intervention
• Results
• Limitations

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

The file must be submitted via the Easychair platform in .pdf format and should be conform to the
WOA2020 abstract template. Please make sure the document does not contain any author identifying information.

Posters are short printed presentations displayed on large boards (100 h x 70 l centimetres; portrait format). Individual posters will be clustered in thematic work in progress sessions lasting 45-60 minutes each. Since the aim of this session is to generate a dynamic discussion among presenters and the audience, at the beginning a facilitator will lead an introductory round in which each presenter introduces her/his poster with a brief statement about objectives and (expected) results (approx. 3 minutes each). It follows a brief informal discussion (questions, comments, etc.) and then the audience members will have the possibility to go through posters and interact with presenters. Presenters of the posters are kindly asked to bring handouts of their poster to the session for interested visitors.
