Application Guidelines to Present at PolyU-CALLS 2024

Submit your proposal! Your proposal can reflect the efforts of a single individual or a collaboration of up to 5 students (as co-authors). All presentations must be by students currently enrolled in an undergraduate programme at a university in Hong Kong or in the Asia-Pacific region. We encourage students to work closely with instructors or professors from their own universities to help ensure they submit their very best work.

Prior to acceptance, the PolyU-CALLS Advisory Board will review all proposals. Submission does not guarantee acceptance.

Proposals should be submitted through the PolyU-CALLS proposal submission page here.

Before you begin the proposal submission process, please be sure you have:

  • A title for your presentation
  • An abstract (150 to 200 words) saved in .doc file. Examples of student abstracts can be found here.

About Oral Presentations

Oral presentations allow presenters to give a more structured 15-minute presentation about their research. This format allows you to discuss your research in more detail with the use of PowerPoint as a visual aid. Each presenter will also have 10 minutes after their presentation for Q&A with their audience. Oral presenters should prepare their PowerPoint slides and bring them to the conference on a USB flash drive (USB Type-A). No completed written paper is required.
