- Presentation guidelines: All paper presenters must attend all the sessions in person. Each invited paper presentation will be allocated 30 minutes, consisting of, at most, a 15-minute presentation and approximately 15 minutes for questions and discussion. Accepted papers will be distributed to presenters for reading before the seminar. Presenters are strongly encouraged not to read their paper but rather structure the 15 minutes in a way that speaks to it and engenders an interactive discussion afterwards. Only one author in a multi-authored paper may present.
- Seminar Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published in the Seminar Proceedings. Authors of accepted papers wishing to submit a revised version of their paper for possible publication elsewhere after the Research Commission Seminar will need to indicate in the paper that, in part, it was previously published in the 30th Research Seminar Proceedings.
- Financial Support: Accommodation funding during the Research Commission may become available for one invited author of each full paper. Travel expenses will not be covered.
- Presentation at the World Conference: Papers accepted to the Research Commission will be automatically invited to present their paper as a Poster at the World Conference in Helsinki, based on the recommendation of the Commission-Co-Chairs. (A separate application to present this work at the World Conference is not required).

Multiple Submissions Policy
The Research Commission only accepts one submission per senior author. Presenters at the International Research Seminar are invited to present their paper as a Poster at the World Conference in Helsinki. Because Seminar presentations will be reviewed by the Research Commission for inclusion in the Seminar, presenters will not go through review again by the World Conference committee, but will be taken on recommendation of the Commission Co-Chairs for the Poster Session.
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT THE SAME PROPOSAL FOR A COMMISSION AND THE WORLD CONFERENCE.
