Description

This refereed four-day conference is staged at Ryerson University's International Living Learning Centre (ILLC) at 240 Jarvis Street in downtown Toronto. The conference brings together international academics, including professors and graduate students, to present research in their respective fields.

We invite abstracts, papers, and proposals in any of the following tracks: 

• Social Sciences and Humanities,
• Business and Economics,
• Teaching and Education, and
• Technology and Science. 

The accepted submissions will be clustered around their common topics and areas of interest. As is typical of multidisciplinary conferences, the final program - released about three weeks before the conference - will mirror the research agendas of the delegates rather than a pre-conceived list of arbitrary topics.

It is up to each delegate how much to submit or publish. Some authors may publish only an abstract in the proceedings. Others may prefer to publish a full-length manuscript in the journal.

Delegates may also attend a conference without submitting or publishing any research.

Authors may deliver their work during the conference either as (i) a regular presentation, (ii) a poster session, (iii) a panel, or (iv) a workshop.

The second part of this conference consists of introducing Ontario landmarks to our international academic audience and presenters. We will visit the places that define the province. Departing from outside the ILLC, the buses will provide complimentary programs to Niagara Falls and rural St Jacobs. Faculty who opt for any or all of the tour programs will be assigned a presentation slot on a different day to assure no conflict of schedule.
