What is the difference between an individual session format and a symposium?
For the INDIVIDUAL SESSION FORMAT, you can submit to present in one of three different formats: PAPER, RESEARCH IN PROGRESS ROUNDTABLE, or POSTER.
A SYMPOSIUM consists of an integrated set of presentations related to the same topic. This format is especially well suited to partnerships among K-12 schools, universities, and/or private institutions. A symposium should include at least three, but no more than five presentations. Symposium organizers are responsible for naming their own chair and discussant, if that is the format their symposium will take.

15 words or fewer per title.
200 words or fewer per abstract.
1,500 words or fewer per INDIVIDUAL uploaded proposal (with no author identification), not including references.
2,000 words of fewer per SYMPOSIUM uploaded proposal (with no author identification), not including references.
References, tables, charts, graphs, images, and figures should be added to the end of the paper and do not count towards the word count.

Is there a limit on the number of co-authors on paper?
No. There is no limit for co-authors listed as long as they all contributed to the research. All authors are not required to present at the conference if the proposal is accepted.
What do I do if I forgot to add my co-author?
Prior to the submission deadline you can log in and edit your submission, including adding co-authors.
Do I need to use a specific format or style, such as APA?

Proposals are often moved from a paper presentation to a roundtable if the research presented is a work in progress, rather than research with substantiated findings (even preliminary) at the time the proposal is submitted.
If my proposal is accepted, will it appear in the NEERO program.
Only proposals that were accepted and whose authors RSVP indicating that they plan to present at the NEERO conference will appear in the program.
If my proposal is accepted for a paper session, when is the full paper due?
