The IAMS conference is an opportunity to present your research to your colleagues, both presentation of research projects at your institution, in your regions or networks and individual research papers, which have not yet been published.

    1) to present an ongoing research project involving several scholars and/or institutions
    2) to have a research paper or article tabled
    3) report on the state of missiological research in your region/network.

Please note that reports on research projects to be presented to the conference should focus on larger projects, not on individual research. For both research reports and papers the procedure is
