ABSTRACTS 

The SAPIENS Early Social Development (SESD) conference will be held in Het Pand (Onderbergen 1, 9000 Ghent, Begium) on the 15th and 16th of September 2022.

 

The Scientific Program committee kindly invites you to submit your abstract for a talk or poster presentation. We are seeking high-quality and original submissions, which will be reviewed on the basis of the methodology, originality of the work, writing quality and the overall contribution to the field of social early development. We welcome abstract submissions from all areas of infant and child development. 

 

We will prioritize understudied topics and understudied languages/groups. We welcome research ideas and submissions from early stage researchers which may not contain empirical results yet. 

 

​All abstracts will be reviewed double-blinded and will be available online after the conference. There is no formal requirements about the abstract regarding the content, however we recommend it includes some background information, methodology, results (if any), and conclusion and/or discussion. ​

 

All submissions must be written in English, with a maximum of 300 words (excluding citations). Please send abstracts to abstracts@sapiensconference.org with "Abstract Submission: Title of the abstract" as the subject line. The email should contain the following information:
