Application Guidelines to Present at PolyU-CALLS 2026
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. We encourage students to seek guidance from instructors or professors from their own universities to help ensure they submit their very best work.
Prior to acceptance, the PolyU-CALLS 2026 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 .pdf 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. No completed written paper is required.
