The conference theme takes a process-centric view on crisis management: <em>\u201cEmbracing the Crisis Management Lifecycle\u201d<\/em>. The theme emphasizes a holistic and integrated process view of crisis management to overcome isolated considerations of crisis management lifecycle phases and showcase how important well-structured and clearly defined roles, tasks and processes are to supporting communication and collaboration between involved actors.<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 ISCRAM conference continues the long-running tradition of inviting proposals for tracks to be held during the conference.

It is our goal to honor the investment of those track chairs and to support historically successful tracks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New tracks &amp; new track chairs<\/strong>: We also strongly encourage innovation and forward thinking by inviting inclusion of new tracks. Even if you are new to the ISCRAM community, if you have an idea for a compelling track then you are strongly encouraged to apply: your proposal will be given full weight in the review of the track proposals. You can consider including an experienced track co-chair, but it is not required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interactive tracks<\/strong>: We encourage interactive track formats. Track chairs interested in an alternative presentation format should carefully describe how this format would be operationalized. For example, this may include small panels, round-table discussions, small code-a-thons, and problem-focused formats that include government and\/or practitioner partners. Alternative formats must use traditional papers as the foundation for the track, but how the information from the papers is presented can be modified. The operational description must be convincing for the track review and approval process and clear enough that authors understand what to expect. The conference chairs will liaise with chairs of tracks with alternative formats to ensure appropriate time and space is allocated for delivery of the tracks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Promoting diversity and early career track co-chairs<\/strong>: Historically, ISCRAM\u2019s level of international representation and its commitment to inclusion, as well as its promotion of young researchers into key roles in the organization, has made it a vibrant community of scholars. We would like you as track chairs to continue to be intentional about the process of selecting co-chairs that provide gender balance and include advanced graduate students, post-docs, and individuals from under-represented nations. Having been given supervised co-chair experience, a number of such individuals have subsequently been promoted into key roles within ISCRAM.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integrity of track content<\/strong>: Unless a track has a very small number of papers \u2013 not enough to reasonably fill at least one session \u2013 the track chair will be \u201cin charge\u201d of identifying session chairs to serve as the facilitators\/time-keepers for each session at the conference. In the rare situations where a very small number of papers is received, these papers may be combined with other tracks or moved to the open track. We will inform and discuss such situations with the associated track chairs before the conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please note: The call for tracks will be closed as of September 13, 2023.
