⁻ All proposal types must include the following information:

• Author contact details

• Proposal title and abstract (maximum of 300 words)

• Relevant keywords

• Main research question or problem driving the proposal

• Two key academic references that form the foundation of the proposal

• Information about the authors' diversity, including student status, based in the Global South, or belonging to a historically underrepresented racial or ethnic group

⁻ Participants may submit up to two proposals.
⁻ The abstract should be typed in English and limited to 300 words.
⁻ Empirical papers will be evaluated based on the importance and clarity of the research question, the robustness of the design and methods, the quality of the data, and the implications of the findings. Research approaches can be qualitative, quantitative, or a mix of both.
⁻ Theoretical and conceptual papers will be evaluated on their ability to provide deep insights into critical public management issues, challenging or refining existing theories, proposing testable hypotheses, or developing new conceptual frameworks.

⁻ Participants should consist of four related papers and a designated chair.
⁻ Panel submissions must include a title and a brief description (100 words or less), along with the titles of the four individual papers.
⁻ Prior to submitting a panel proposal, individual papers belonging to the panel must first be submitted. When submitting individual papers, each paper will be assigned an approval number.
⁻ Panel organizers should include this number in their proposals.
⁻ Panel diversity is strongly encouraged, reflecting variations in gender, race, geographic representation of authors and institution, rank, and research methods.
⁻ The program committee reserves the right to modify panel compositions by adding or removing papers to better fit the conference's goals, particularly in cases of presenter dropouts.

⁻ Workshops can be either half-day or full-day sessions.
⁻ Proposals for workshops should include the following details:

• Title

• Statement of objectives and relevance to the field

• Length and format of the session

• Names and affiliations of session organizers and leaders

• Ideal number of participants

⁻ Workshop proposals should not exceed 300 words and do not count toward the per participant research presentation limit.

⁻ Poster presenters will display their research visually and engage in One-on-one discussions with attendees about their work.
- Poster presenters will be eligible for poster-specific prizes.
