Call for Proposals

We are inviting TRU faculty and researchers to celebrate their work with SIP and to submit new ideas/projects related to SIP.

Session Formats

Poster or Roundtable

Faculty and researchers whose work is aligned with SIP are invited to submit a poster or a Roundtable discussion, depending on how you would like to present your work. We welcome completed projects, project-in-progress, and project-in-development.  

Posters are ideal to display, communicate, and celebrate your work to a broad audience with images, charts, diagrams, and words. Round Tables are set up for you to share your work with a table of colleagues in a comfortable setting. You could present verbally with a handout or a slide on your laptop (optional).

Proposal Submission

1. Alignment to SIP Goals: All proposals should be aligned with one of the SIP goals and one or more objectives under that goal.

2. Length: Proposals should be no more than 300 words and anonymized for review.

3. Impact Statement and Summary: All submissions should include an impact or potential impact statement (no more than 100 words) to demonstrate the significance or contribution of their work to SIP and a short summary for the event program (no more than 30 words).

4. First Author: One author can only submit one proposal as the first author.

5. Digital Posters: Poster presenters are encouraged (but not required) to submit the digital version of their posters to this site as an open educational practice to build resources on the work of internationalization. If you choose to submit your work to this site, it will be accessible to the public so only include information you are comfortable sharing. The organizing committee will cover the cost of the poster printing. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us (information below).

6. Generative AI Disclosure: Authors will be asked to declare the extent to which tools such as generative artificial intelligence/large language models were used in creating their proposals. We expect all authors to disclose honestly and transparently any use of such tools in the course of preparing and creating proposals and presentations.

Proposal Evaluation

Proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  1. Relevance to SIP
  2. Organization and clarity
  3. Contribution or potential contribution to SIP

Deadline for submission: September 21, 2026 at 23:59 PST.
