Yogyakarta
The 23rd IPPA Conference is now open for paper submissions. The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 15, 2026.
We accept abstracts in English. If it helps to reach a wider readership, a translated version of the abstract in the author’s preferred language can be included later, once the abstract has been accepted.
All abstracts are limited to 250 words, no references or footnotes, and in a single paragraph.
Please include the full name of all authors and their respective institutional affiliations, with an email address for the corresponding author (the email registered when you fill out the online submission form). It is not a requirement to put positions or roles, otherwise they will just be simply removed.
Indicate the Session number and Title of the session where you would like to present your paper.
A lead author can present a maximum of two papers or one presentation and one poster (we cannot guarantee that you will be able to present two papers. This will depend on the demand for presentation slots). Please submit each paper individually.
In submitting the abstract, the author also grants the IPPA Secretariat and the IPPA23 organizing committee the right to publish abstracts in the conference program, both online and in print format. The author also agrees to abide by the presentation criteria and other guidelines set by the IPPA23 committee and the session panel chair (such as time limits, structure, etc.).
Accepted abstracts may be edited, if necessary, but it is the author’s responsibility to ensure the lack of errors in its final format.
The IPPA23 organizing committee reserves the right to reject any abstract if it does not meet these criteria.
All sessions will be designed to be presented in person (face-to-face) at the 23rd IPPA Congress. The venue will not be able to accommodate any hybrid or online presentations.
Individual papers: 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions.
Posters (guidelines, forthcoming)
All authors must be registered and be included in the IPPA mailing list to ensure receipt of all updates concerning the conference. The IPPA23 committee will only process abstracts from main authors that are already registered. For those who are paying online, please have your receipts ready and then register by accessing the form in the IPPA Secretariat website. Students will be asked to upload their proof of enrolment and ID in the registration form.
Your submitted abstract will be recorded by the IPPA committee and then be sent to the appropriate session convenor for consideration.
The convenor will then inform the participant and presenter if the paper is accepted or rejected. All session convenors must have all papers by the agreed deadline (15th of March 2026), and they must decide for the final line up on or before 1st of April 2026.
Once accepted, your presentation will be accessible online. The session convenor(s) will decide the order of the presentations in the session and inform the IPPA secretariat who will then list, order and timetable the session.
Hosted at the Gadjah Mada University Club Hotel, our congress will be an entirely in-person event, with no hybrid or online sessions offered. We look forward to welcoming you for a week of engaging presentations, lively discussions, and meaningful connections across the IPPA community.
Your participation will help make this gathering a truly memorable and collaborative event - we hope to see you in Yogyakarta!
