*Call for panels: IFIP 9.4 Conference Lima, Peru 2022
<https://ifip.ue.edu.pe/>*

We are inviting proposals for panel presentations on topics relevant to the
IFIP 9.4 community and broadly in keeping with the conference theme: *Freedom
and Social Inclusion in a Connected World*.

A panel should aim to present a variety of views on a topical issue in the
ICT4D field, to generate debate amongst the panellists and to engage the
audience in that debate. Thus, there should be potential for different
positions to be put forward for the chosen topic and the proposal should
make it clear how the panel will present these different positions. Good
candidates for panel topics would be those arising from controversies,
academic debates, new research agendas, global/geopolitical challenges,
innovations and transformational technological advances and so forth.

The panel proposals will be reviewed by the Programme Chairs taking into
account: a panel topic that will attract an audience, a panel composition
that offers a variety of voices, and a panel format that will encourage
audience participation.

Panel proposals should conform to the following guidelines:

· Maximum of three A4 pages in length, consisting of:

o An introduction to the panel topic demonstrating its importance to the
field

o An exposition of the varying positions held on the topic and how these
engender debate

o A section with short biographies (max. 100 words) of each panellist

o A references section

· Each panel should comprise a moderator and a maximum of 4
panellists

· The panel format should aim to complete all panellists’ debate
and audience engagement in 90 minutes, with at least 30 minutes for
audience engagement

Should the panel proposal be accepted, it would be expected that all
panellists should commit to attending the conference.

Panel proposals should be submitted no later than *14th March 2022* to the
programme chairs, using our email addresses below. Acceptance decisions of
panel proposals will take place on *15th April 2022*.
