Participants are invited to hand in abstracts for papers, posters, and symposia proposals. Online submission of proposals will be open later this year. All paper, poster, and symposium proposals should be submitted electronically. You need to indicate all contributing authors along with their affiliations and email addresses. Fill in this information carefully; misspellings and missing email addresses may result in co-authors needing to be correctly linked to all their contributions.
If you have any trouble with the electronic submission, proposals can also be sent as an attached file* [in .doc, docx, or.pdf format] to the following e-mail address: conference@ernape.org. They should be typed, single-spaced, in A4. Author(s) name(s), institutional affiliation(s), phone number(s), and e-mail details should be stated only in the email accompanying the abstract.
How to submit an abstract
The paper and poster proposal should not exceed 300 words, and it includes the following:
- Title of abstract
- Authors(s) of the abstract, including affiliations

- General description of research questions, objectives and theoretical framework

Please note the following points that are important for a correct submission:
- It is not possible to include tables or graphs in the submission form
- The conference language is English, and all abstracts must be in English
- Submissions are limited to new, original work
- All abstracts will be published in the Abstract Book of the 13th Conference
- Full papers will be published in The International Journal about Parents in Education (IJPE)
Electronic Submission
How to submit a symposium proposal
A symposium session builds on a theme and is proposed and planned by a symposium organiser. The papers focus on a common theme. A symposium has a chair (often the organiser) and a discussant who has read the papers in advance. The symposium organiser will decide how the symposium will be organised and the time allotment for each presentation. Only the person who submits the proposal will receive correspondence relating to the submission. The submitter is responsible for communicating the proposal with all contributors and ERNAPE-Verona.
In addition to the general abstract requirements, proposals for symposia must also include:
- A plan for the symposium including:
- (1) The title of the symposium, and(2) An abstract describing the entire symposium (500 words): aims/objectives, significance for parents, schools, and community in education.
- Names of Chairperson and Discussant for the symposium.
- Short abstracts (200 words) of all papers within the symposium.
- The names of the contributors, along with their affiliations and email addresses, titles of their presentations, and their abstracts. The names of those presenting must be specified.
- References are not included in the word count.
