Selection Criteria

All proposals received by the due date will be anonymised and peer reviewed.

To meet TEMC 2022’s quality standards, your proposal must:

• Show an understanding of the aims of TEFMA and ATEM, and of members’ professional practice
• Align with the broad conference theme, Regenerate and Thrive, and link to one of the conference streams
• Be relevant to the TEMC audience
• Show how you will maximise engagement with participants in your session, and stimulate critical thought and insight
• Be clear, complete, well-structured and intellectually rigorous (including spelling, grammar, referencing)
• Consider equality and diversity in the content and delivery of the session, eg using a broad range of examples, scenarios or images that illustrate the diversity of tertiary education
• Demonstrate that the session will be accessible to all participants

A template will be provided at the Program Proposal Workshops, which are part of TEMC’s Presenter Development Program

Proposals from consultants, vendors and sponsors must have a TEFMA or ATEM member or a representative of a tertiary organisation as the leading author. That member will be the main presenter. A sales pitch is not sufficient for selection: the proposal should bring lessons learned from a peer-to-peer perspective and should contribute to the overall knowledge and capability of the tertiary education sector.

Make your proposal stand out

Program places are limited, so the reviewers will look for:

• Topics that are innovative, applicable, insightful
• Original information, ideas or perspectives
• Examples of good practice and results-focused approaches
• Based on sound evidence and analysis
• Clearly stated learning objectives

Presenter registration

All presenters must register to attend the conference. If your proposal is accepted, you will be entitled to register at the early bird rate.

Registration waivers may be available for students, people outside the tertiary education sector, and individuals who are unable to pay the registration fee. Please request a waiver when you submit your proposal.

Presenters who have not registered by 25 July 2022 may be removed from the program.
