Call for abstracts

We are excited to announce the opening of abstract submission for the Cultural Evolution Society Conference 2021, held as a full virtual online meeting on June 9-11, 2021.

One person can submit only one abstract as a corresponding presenter. Abstracts should be written in English and not exceed 250 words. The abstract submission will be closed on April 30.

Reviewing submitted abstracts will start in late March. Acceptance notification will be immediately sent to authors to assure sufficient time for registration and to prepare for materials to be presented on the virtual conference website.

Speaker policy

Following the Cultural Evolution Society’s “Guidelines for organizing a diverse conference or workshop”, anonymized abstracts will first be evaluated by scientific committee members, after which decisions about acceptance may incorporate demographic information in order to “achieve balance and representation with respect to ethnicity, geographical distribution, level of seniority, scientific approach, and other characteristics”. As recommended, this will include aiming for “no more than 60% of speakers of any one gender”.

How to submit your abstract
