ISPS 2025

The ISPS 2025 theme, Performance Science in Practice, is intended to encourage discussion and debate on connections between performance, education, science, and society. Specific research topics, fields of study, and methodological approaches have been left open intentionally to encourage interdisciplinary exchange.

Submissions detailing original research are invited from all performance disciplines, offering new perspectives from across the arts and sciences.

We intend to offer both on-site and electronic presentation options, although the former will depend on possible restrictions on public meetings and international travel in place at the time of the event. 

Submissions are invited for

• Spoken papers
• Poster presentations
• Symposia

The online submission portal will open in January 2025.

Submissions should be made by 01 April 2025.

Graduate awards

The Scientific Committee is keen to encourage the attendance of students, as well as established researchers and practitioners.

The ISPS 2025 Graduate Paper Award will be offered to one graduate student to present a keynote paper at the conference. 

In addition, at the symposium, delegates will be able to vote for the highest quality poster presentation delivered by a graduate student. The student(s) with the highest vote tally will be given the ISPS 2025 Graduate Poster Award. 

Review process

Each submission will be reviewed anonymously by the Scientific Committee according to its originality, importance, clarity, and interdisciplinarity. Corresponding authors will be notified by email of the Committee’s decision by 15 May 2025.
