Abstract Submissions

Abstract submissions close 20th October 2022

Members and non-members are invited to submit an abstract to be considered as a presenter on the program. Abstracts will be reviewed by the AAIR Forum Committee. Abstracts are submitted in text format within the abstract submission portal, and can be up to 300 words

Accepted speakers are encouraged to register and present at the face-to-face event, however there will be presentations reserved within the program for virtual presenters (via Zoom). More information regarding the virtual presentations will be sent out in coming weeks. Virtual presenters will have the option to pre-record their presentation; all Q&A sessions will be live and facilitated.

40 Minute Presentation and Discussion Session
Presentations share research, innovative applications, creative and effective practices, and professional work products. The role of the presenter(s) is to convey information about the session topic. Presentation slides and handouts are frequently used. At least 10 minutes should be reserved for questions and audience participation. Sessions may be led by one or more presenters.

Workshop Presentation (40 minutes)
Workshop a topic with your peers! These sessions are the preferred format for development of skills and knowledge among participants and must have clearly articulated expected learning outcomes. Workshop facilitators will need to have skills in group facilitation, and interaction should be integral in the session. Facilitators will be asked to provide a short, written report on workshop outcomes.

When submitting your abstract, please select from a theme that aligns with your abstract content:

• Impacts of COVID-19
• The Evolving Role of the Institutional Researcher
• Justifying the Value of Higher Education and research
• Evidence-based Strategic Planning (and Implementation)
• Benchmarking for Continuous Quality Improvement
• Informing Learning and Teaching through Evaluation and Surveys
• Realising benefits – the role of Institutional Research in Enterprise and Transformation Projects
• Compliance and Government Reporting Reform
• Business Intelligence, Analytics, Visualisation and Modelling – the Foundations of IR

All accepted abstracts will be published in the forum handbook / online exactly as they are submitted. Abstracts will not be proofread or edited by the Forum Managers or Forum Organising Committee. It is the responsibility of the presenting author to ensure that the abstract is submitted correctly. If you are unable to submit via the website, please contact the Forum Managers.

Authors whose abstracts are accepted for inclusion in the forum program will be advised once abstract reviews have taken place at that time will receive detailed instructions regarding the requirements moving forward.
