Posters / Demo Instructions
The WorldCIS-2026 encourages the submission of poster or demo proposals. The poster can be presented either in Microsoft Power Point (not more than 20 slides) or as A0 paper size (1189 x 841 mm). In addition to the poster’s display, authors must submit their posters in the form of an extended abstract (should not exceed 2 pages) that will be included in the conference proceedings. The posters’ display will run throughout the duration of the conference.
Virtual Presentation (Video Conferencing)
We understand that some presenters will not be able to make the trip to Oxford to present, mainly due to financial and/or political restrictions on travel. The WorldCIS-2026 has therefore instituted a virtual presentation system to allow the authors of accepted papers the same publication opportunities as regular presenters.
Speakers
Participating as a speaker is open to all. You will be expected to give a talk to the whole audience.
Sessions Speakers
The WorldCIS-2026 invites speakers to share their knowledge on issues or subject matters of the research work to present within a session.
Workshops
Workshop duration is 80 minutes. All the accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. You can consider organising a workshop that is related to WorldCIS-2026 topics.
Panel Discussion
Proposals from those who would like to facilitate a panel discussion are welcomed. The proposals may address any of the topics falling within the scope of the conference themes. Panel Discussions provide an opportunity for public discussion amongst a selected group of panelists. Central to the success of a panel discussion is the choice of a good topic as the focus for discussion and panellists who bring differing perspectives and are confident in making clear arguments in a live situation. Panels should comprise of three to five scholars who present their arguments; a discussant offers critical comment on the arguments made and the discussion is opened up to the participating audience. The proposal must include:
- Title
- Panel Chair(s) (if necessary)
- Speaker(s) Name, Affiliation and Email
- Scope
- Objective and motivation
The WorldCIS-2026 will set aside space for those who wish to pursue discussion of a particular topic or issue. Interested individuals should submit a proposal not more than 400 words, on or before the 15th of March, 2026. In addition, the proposal should indicate the duration of the panel discussion (preferred duration is 80 minutes). All accepted Panel Discussion proposal will be published in the Conference Proceedings. If you are interested in organising Panel Discussion for the WorldCIS-2026, please email your proposal to the pandis@worldcis.org. Submissions should be in MS Word format.
PhD / Doctorate Consortium
The idea of writing a research paper or developing a topic of research interest that can lead to a PhD / Doctorate degree or proposal is always an endless thinking of where, when, why, what and who. Therefore, becoming an experienced researcher and writer in any field or discipline takes a great deal of practice.
