ALAN 2023
August 10-13, 2023 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
How to present at ALAN 2023
The conference will be hybrid, but we are still finalizing details of how online participation will work. We plan for most oral presentations to be made in-person at the conference. A restricted number of speakers will be invited to give a pre-recorded remote presentation. Oral presentations will be recorded, and can be viewed on demand.
We expect to hold an online-poster session prior to the event in Calgary, which will be attended by everyone, regardless of whether they are participating online and in-person during the main conference dates. In-person attendees may choose to additionally display their posters in Calgary during the main conference, as there will be follow-up poster sessions on site.
To submit an Abstract for ALAN 2023
Click here to submit an abstract. If you do not yet have an EasyChair account, you will need to create one.
The abstract booklet and final program will be distributed to all participants at the conference. Authors are required to use the following Word template to prepare an abstract and to submit it as a word document via EasyChair: ALAN 2023 abstract-model-Template.
Abstracts can be a maximum of two pages long. Please do not modify the template (fonts: Times New Roman 12 pts, margins: left and right (2.3 cm) top-bottom (2,3 cm), spacing: single-spaced). Please add a title in bold, indicate which of the 6 major conference topics your presentation matches most closely, and provide the author and co-author names, institutions and corresponding author's email address.
The abstract deadline was extended to January 22, 2023.
By submitting an abstract, you confirm that you agree to license the work under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, and that you are the creator or have permission to so license any images included in the abstract.
Acceptance Rate
The acceptance rate for oral presentations was between 62% to 66% during the last 3 conferences. We therefore encourage all authors to use the space necessary to make a compelling case for acceptance of their abstract.
In the case of abstracts for oral presentations that are deemed high quality by the reviewers but cannot be accepted due to lack of speaking slots, the authors may be offered the possibility of doing a poster presentation instead.
Early Stage Researcher Award
A prize of $100 will be awarded to the best poster presented by an early stage researcher (maximum 3 years since PhD awarded). Posters are judged by a group of anonymous senior conference attendees (usually not including members of the steering committee). Posters are rated based on their design, the clarity and accuracy of the information provided, the novelty of the research, and the presenters ability to communicate their results orally.
Conference Proceedings
A printed booklet of the two-page abstracts will be provided to the conference attendees, and will be made freely available online. After the conference, participants will be invited to submit a full paper to a special issue of the International Journal of Sustainable Lighting. The journal will handle peer-review and publication independently from ALAN, so acceptance to present at ALAN does not imply acceptance for publication at IJSL.
