Oxford Symposia attracts participants from various countries, fostering a diverse and enriching exchange of ideas. While our presenters primarily consist of professors, we also welcome delegates from diverse backgrounds to contribute to the discourse.
Yes, each co-author who plans to co-present at the symposium must register separately as a presenter. Only registered presenters will be included in the conference programme and permitted to present.
In order for a person to make a presentation at the Symposium she/he must first submit an abstract, which if approved by the Symposium Programme Committee, will reserve a place for presentation on the meeting agenda.
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer any funding support or scholarships. The invitee’s institution or organization generally incurs the cost. We recommend that participants seek funding from their institution or from external academic grants. We can also provide you with a formal invitation letter, a supporting document that has successfully assisted past participants in securing financial aid.
Costs associated with the registration fee include venue fee, catered coffee and tea, catered lunch, personnel costs, equipment costs, and facilitator fees, double-blind refereeing of papers, and conference programme materials. access to conference papers, refreshments during seminars, and buffet lunch.
We are currently unable to accommodate a hybrid format for presentations. The symposium is structured for in-person presentations, and our venue and logistics are not well-equipped to facilitate online components.
The programme for the meeting will be set well in advance, thus payment at the gate Is not permitted.
Our dress code is business casual. Ensure you have comfortable shoes for walking around Oxford.
Cancellations must be made a week before the symposium's regular registration deadline to receive a partial refund of the registration fee (minus a 15% admin fee). If you cancel after this date, you may apply your registration to a future symposium (up to a year).
By the time the cancellation deadline passes, we have committed to each delegate's attendance, including securing their spot in the venue, arranging catering, preparing symposium materials, etc. Once made, these commitments are not refundable.
Our refund policy deadline is set a week before the regular registration period ends to ensure that we can cancel these arrangements and issue refunds promptly. Unfortunately, after this deadline, we cannot recover these costs, which is why refunds are not possible beyond this point. We can only offer to apply your full registration fee toward a future symposium within one year, which is the period Harris Manchester College permits us to hold the payment on file to use at a later date.
Our education conferences, which have been running for nearly fifteen years, typically cap attendance at 40–50 participants. Our religion conferences are typically capped at 30-40 participants. The idea is to foster a smaller, collegial atmosphere that encourages discussion across disciplines.
