Subject and Purpose
In this third edition of the EJI-PATER we resume the cycle of Meetings of Young Researchers on Heritage and Territory studies, hosted by Lab2PT in association with IN2PAST. Their aim is to restore the opportunity to share  scientific perceptions, projects, and research  recently developed, or  currently under development; counteracting the drop in output  motivated by the pandemic and the impact of war in Ukraine.
Centred on a unifying, convergent, and urgent line, the main theme for this meeting – Circular Ciência em Património e Território – results from its two core themes, that promote interdisciplinary discussion, involvement, and interdependence between different scientific areas, through the emerging and vital vision of circularity.

 

Target audience and Goals
EJI-PATER is aimed at young researchers (recent graduates, master/PhD students and master and PhD with a degree obtained fewer than 6 years ago) and new professionals developing research work in scientific areas such as: 
Archaeology | Architecture | Visual Arts | Design | Geography | Geology | History.
It is an extended scientific sharing  event that aims to promote  discussion and reflection, serving as both a starting point and a bridge between generations of researchers. Thus, all the submitted proposals can benefit from  co-authorship by advisors, senior researchers, professors, and professionals with relevant experience in a given field of action and research area.
Keeping its focus on plurality, transversality, and coverage, the third edition of EJI-PATER intends to defy young researchers to overcome epistemological obstacles and benefit from sharing their work (methodologies, treatment, and results) with researchers from many different fields, exploring possible affinities between the diverse scientific approaches.  

 

Meeting format
EJI-PATER format will consist of two days of meetings, which  include a variety   sessions, round-tables, and workshops, aimed at strengthening bonds between participants, and offering a favourable environment for young researchers to share their experiences and ideas.
As one of Lab2PT's principles is to counteract unequal opportunities and exclusion, the event is free of charge to all participants.

 

Contributions formats
We invite all  interested researchers to submit their works in  the following formats:
- poster (5-minute presentation);
- pitch (research projects – 8-minute presentation);
- communication (15-minute presentation);
- videos | documentaries;
- installations.

​

These formats can include  individual (e.g., master, doctorates) and collective (e.g., projects)   research works.  Given that interdisciplinarity is at the root of this event, the works submitted must be related, among other words, to the following cloud:

Proposals validation process
All  submissions must be made using our online form, regardless of their scientific area or presentation format. Once submissions have been found to meet the requirements of the event, applicants will be notified.
All the submissions will go through a review process carried out by the Scientific Commission of the Event, whose panel gathers unequivocal academic recognition. In this process the anonymity of each of the authors will be preserved (according to a peer-review model).
At the end of this stage, the authors will be notified about the acceptance or rejection of their submissions, which may be accompanied by constructive observations made by the reviewers. Once notified, the authors may voluntarily accept the comments and make changes to their submissions; these must be re-submitted a maximum of one week following the notification. Authors that reject the comments will be able to join the event as participants.
The submissions will be evaluated based on their relevance, originality, interest, and clarity.
Once the reviewing process has concluded, the authors of the works will be notified of their inclusion in the Programme of EJI-PATER. This will be communicated to the email provided in the online subscription  form.

 

Certification
All participants will receive a  certificate which will contain the title of their submission, as well as the format of communication, and the  first author. In the case of two submissions by the same authors (maximum allowed ), participants will be entitled to two certificates.

​

Publication

Once the third edition of EJI-PATER is concluded, and at an opportune date, the publication of the submitted papers will be announced, considering the expressed interest of the respective authors.
The submission of written proposals, which expand on  the summary of the works presented in the EJI-PATER, should be carried out by completing an online form, similar to the one for registration, made available for this purpose after the event. In this process, each first author may apply for publication of one or two proposals (as applicable) submitted, accepted, and presented at the Event.
The publication will take the form of a collective work that will include the papers selected after scientific review. This publication will be made through the editorial line of Lab2PT.
