This submission type provides an opportunity for a group of participants to achieve a specific goal or address a particular problem.
It can be designed to:
– Train or educate participants in a particular research methodology or theoretical approach;
– Address a specific problem, such as how to apply particular reseach finding in organizations or policy;
– Develop a consensus on a particular issue (for example, the goal of the workshop may be to produce a position statement or policy on a particular topic, to identify priorities in a specific area, or to develop theoretical perspectives or methodologies).

Initially, this submission type must include an abstract.  Keep in mind that if your abstract gets selected for publication, you will be asked for a final complete paper (limited to 3 pages long).

Important Note: In the initial submission, the description of the methodology used for the workshop has to be very clear, so that we can easily identify if it is really a Workshop or a mere lecture.
