Submission types and session formats

At SEFI 2018, authors can choose between different submission types.

  • Research papers: Full papers, which follow the standards for good research practice in Engineering Education Research (EER). Author(s) present for example original studies, research projects within EER.
  • Concept papers: Full papers, which present scholarly work within the field of Engineering Education (e.g. work-in-progress projects, studies of practice).

  • Non-paper-based contributions (e.g. workshops, round table discussions): these non-paper-based contributions require the submission of an extended abstract.

Papers will be presented in different session formats:

  • Discussion
  • Flipped conference talk
  • Poster pitch & presentation
  • Oral presentation
  • Short hands-on/mind-on activity

In the submission process, author(s) can state a preference on which format they would like to present their work and explain how they intend to put it into practice.

Call for Doctoral Symposium in Engineering Education


The Second Doctoral Symposium in Engineering Education offers an opportunity to explore and develop research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of senior scholars within Engineering Education Research (EER). During the Doctoral Symposium, the participants will share their current dissertation work with others and exchange feedback. 

To this event, we invite doctoral students in Engineering Education and their supervisors. Ideally the participants have an active PhD research plan, and can benefit from participating in the workshop.

The aim is to provide an opportunity for doctoral students and their supervisors to:

  • meet other students and supervisors to extend their network and view of the EER field,
  • present and discuss their own work and the work of others,
  • get perspectives from scholars outside their own institution,
  • contribute to the conference and the SEFI EER community with other participants, and
  • promote collaborative research and elaborate future research directions.

The Doctoral Symposium takes place on Monday, 17 September 2018. All participants must also register for the full SEFI 2018 Annual Conference. For PhD students who are accepted as participants in the Doctoral Symposium, the conference fee is reduced to 300 €.

To participate, please submit a letter of interest by April 20. See important dates below.
