Share your presentation in a panel format using a virtual platform. Each panel will be one hour and fifteen minutes long, will have 4-5 presenters, with each having 8-10 minutes to discuss their topic. There will be breakout rooms after the session for further audience participation if more time is needed for Q&A.

Duration: approximately one hour and fifteen minutes

• Proposal should relate to the conference theme and be organized around a topic that will have wide appeal to the Fulbright community and potentially inspire future research or service. Research presented should be professional level, with additional consideration given to projects that resulted from a Fulbright grant. Examples of international collaborative projects are especially welcome.
• The panel session format allows for considerable coverage of a given topic within a unified theme. You may submit a proposal with a colleague/colleagues, or you may submit as an individual that may be placed within a group representing a similar theme. Each group and individual panelist should prepare to speak for 8-10 minutes. An opportunity for audience participation is expected.
• Panelists should clearly identify the theme of their proposed session.
• The Zoom platform will be used and presenters will be supported by FA staff with their presentations.
• Selected presentations will appeal widely and thoughtfully to Fulbright Association members and help launch future work by session participants.

Share your Fulbright experience and/or research in a visual format with conference attendees.

Duration: 10 min

Posters will be presented virtually through screenshare via Zoom. You are welcome to continue discussion with conference attendees about your research after the session via breakout rooms.

• Eligible presenters include individual and institutional Fulbright Association members as well as prospective members. Returning Fulbright grantees, students, and teachers should feel welcome to submit proposals in this category.
• Posters can reflect participants’ Fulbright grant experience/research or other work in which they are engaged. This can take many forms: research findings; best practices for teaching; overview of a project; photos from a key experience; or examples of outreach efforts either in host country or in the U.S. Past posters have reflected research findings, overview of a project, best practices for teaching, photo journals, and outreach efforts both in the U.S. and abroad.
• Posters should be presented on slides and should demonstrate the topic visually.

A: Yes. While we require a “working title” for all submissions, if your proposal is accepted, you may change the title later by a given deadline.

Q: I don’t have any co-presenters. Can I submit a proposal for a themed session?

Q: I don’t have any co-presenters. Can I submit a proposal for a poster?

Q: If I (or my co-presenters) only intend to present at the conference, without attending any other sessions, do I still need to register?

A: Yes. All presenters must register; however, you might consider purchasing a one-day registration instead of a full conference registration.
