Abstract Submission:

**Please do not email your abstract or full-paper to the 21st Century Academic Forum. We ask you to submit your abstract proposals in English through our Online Submission System until the final deadline of July 24, 2015. The Conference Committee reviews abstract proposals on a rolling basis and authors will typically receive a decision within two weeks of his/her submission.

Note: There are two different Online Submission Forms, one for Presenters and the other for Non-Presenters (Listeners). Please use the appropriate Submission Form. Both forms can be found on the navigation menu on the left margin, as well as the Conferences and Submissions page on our website. Non-Presenters who are ready to apply now can click HERE to go directly to the Non-Presenter (Listener) Online Submission Form.

Paper Publication Opportunities:

All papers that meet the 21st Century Academic Forum’s Conference Proceedings requirements will be published in our online Conference Proceedings (ISSN: ). Papers must be submitted for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings by December 21, 2015. We purposely set the deadline for papers three months following the conference with the rationale that authors should use the feedback they receive at the conference in crafting their final drafts of their paper.

The Conference Proceedings will be published on March 21, 2016. The Conference Proceedings editorial board in turn works with the editors of our three peer-reviewed journals to select papers for possible publication in one of our three online peer-reviewed journals listed below.


  • The International Journal of 21st Century Education (ISSN: )
  • The International Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (ISSN: )
  • Journal of Language Learning and Teaching for the 21st Century (ISSN: )

The editors of these journals will contact selected authors and begin the editing process and ultimately publish theme-based issues of each journal based on a thematic basis. The 21st Century Academic Forum is fully committed to Open Access information, making your research papers available to a global audience.

Please click here for: Paper Submission Guidelines

Poster Sessions: 

Poster presentations convey information quickly and effectively, without the formality of oral presentations. Please note that audio-visual equipment cannot be used. Posters may be displayed for longer than the specified time, but presenters should be with their posters from 10:00 to 1:00 on Monday, September 21st period in order to answer questions. Poster sessions allow the presenter to enjoy more one-to-one communication with conference participants.

Absentee Presenters:

For those that are unable to join us at Harvard, we offer you the opportunity to present your work via a narrated PowerPoint presentation, which can be uploaded to our website prior to the conference. Your abstract will be printed in the Conference Program Book and your paper will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Conference registration materials (Certificate of Participation, official receipt, Conference Program Book, and tote bag) will be sent by post following the conference.

21st Century Academic Forum

The 21st Century Academic Forum is a global group of researchers and educators dedicated to supporting research that has the potential to influence the shaping of educational policy and practices to more effectively prepare students for the unique challenges of the 21st century. An overwhelming body of research indicates that students are leaving formal educational institutions inadequately prepared for the workforce and their lives in the knowledge-based economy. Join us to help turn the tide in education!
