Call for Abstracts

Ventana V invites postgraduate students, researchers at any stage of their career, as well as individuals from various fields, including arts and humanities, social sciences, and other disciplines to participate in the conference through two different modes: workshops and paper presentations. 

This will be a hybrid event and more details on the venue for the in-person attendance will be confirmed in due course. Although English is the conference's main language, we also accept presentations in Spanish and Portuguese provided that they are pre-recorded and English subtitles included by the presenter. 

Abstracts for both papers and workshops must include 3-5 keywords. Abstracts for papers must be 300 words max in length. Please bear in mind that each paper presentation should last up to 15 minutes. The conference is open to all students at all levels from universities worldwide as attendees and speakers. At the end of the event, a participation certificate will be issued to participants.

Publication of Papers 


Ventana V is pleased to announce the renewal of its partnership with the Academic journal Tensões Mundiais. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit the final version of their papers to Ventana, a month after the conference has taken place, for possible corrections. The papers will then go through a second selection process to be part of a special edition in partnership with the journal Tensões Mundiais. Submissions will have to follow the standard and editing requirements of the journal. Further information will be provided in due course. 


Support 


Ventana V is willing to provide invitation letters and/or certificates of attendance to accepted papers and workshops upon request. 

We do not ask for any registration fee, however, because we are only a team of early-career researchers, we are unable to sponsor participants' costs of travel and accommodation.
