Contribute!

Call for Abstracts

Researchers, academics, practitioners, and industry partners are invited to contribute to the first international forum dedicated to orienteering-inspired science, education, and innovation.

Early career researchers and research students are especially encouraged to submit.

Contributions may be theoretical or empirical, classroom pilots or interdisciplinary collaborations, and previously published work is welcome if adapted for this community.

Suggested topics

• Research findings about orienteering
• Orienteering-inspired research in other fields
• Innovative teaching practices using orienteering*
• Examples of lectures, exercise classes, or tutorials where orienteering is considered as a case-study
• Orienteering performance analysis
• New technologies for orienteering

* Note that this conference is NOT about teaching orienteering. It is about how to use orienteering as a tool for teaching something else.

Guide for contributors

Submission format

Contributors are invited to submit a one-page abstract that includes the following elements:

• Clearly stated research question or challenge
• Methods or pedagogical approach
• Key findings, insights, or expected contributions
• Optional figures, videos, links, or learning artifacts

What to submit

• Text abstract (required) The abstract must be self-contained: it should include all essential information needed for review. Maximum length: 1200 words.
• Optional figure Upload one figure that clarifies your contribution (e.g., diagram, result, interface screenshot). The abstract must still be understandable without the figure.
• Optional supplementary material Upload supporting material such as a single PDF file, which can include links to previous publications, video, teaching material, or other learning artifact. Supplementary material is considered supporting evidence only and should not replace essential content in the abstract.
• Optional Comment Use this field to provide additional context for the program committee.

Accepted abstracts will be presented at the conference. The presentation must be accessible to a broad audience.

All accepted abstracts will appear in the program and digital conference proceedings (published as a technical report).
