ABOUT IRCIP 2026
The 3rd International Research Conference on Interdisciplinary Perspectives (IRCIP 2026) will be held on August 7-8, 2026, bringing together researchers, educators, practitioners, and policy stakeholders in a shared commitment to advancing knowledge through interdisciplinary collaboration. As a scholarly gathering, the conference seeks to provide a dynamic venue for the exchange of ideas, the presentation of emerging and established research, and the strengthening of networks among individuals and institutions engaged in addressing contemporary issues through research.
Anchored on the theme “Interdisciplinary Perspectives in Action: Research, Innovation, and Societal Transformation,” IRCIP 2026 highlights the growing importance of crossing disciplinary boundaries in order to respond meaningfully to complex real-world challenges. The theme emphasizes that today’s social, educational, technological, environmental, and policy concerns cannot be fully understood or addressed from a single disciplinary lens alone. Instead, they require the integration of theories, methods, and insights from diverse fields to generate more holistic understandings, innovative solutions, and socially responsive interventions. In this way, the conference underscores the role of research not only as an academic endeavor, but also as a force that can inform innovation, shape practice, and contribute to positive societal transformation.
IRCIP 2026 will feature keynote sessions, paper presentations, and research dialogues designed to promote research rigor, encourage intellectual exchange, and inspire collaboration across disciplines. Through these engagements, the conference aims to cultivate a research culture that values relevance, inclusivity, and impact, while supporting the translation of evidence into actions that benefit communities and society at large.
The conference welcomes submissions from participants across various academic levels, including senior high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as researchers, teachers, practitioners, and policymakers from diverse professional and disciplinary backgrounds. IRCIP 2026 affirms its commitment to inclusive scholarship and to the belief that meaningful interdisciplinary dialogue is enriched by varied perspectives, experiences, and forms of expertise.

The conference was very well managed, and the hosts were excellent. The papers were diverse, and the invited keynote speakers were experts in their fields. RJT
The strengths of the conference are its well-organized sessions, diverse range of research topics, and the opportunity it provides for meaningful collaboration and knowledge-sharing among participants. JJ
The conference emphasized the importance of viewing various areas of discipline as integrated for a holistic understanding of knowledge and innovative ideas. I personally learned a lot from researchers who use general methods and then apply them in their field of expertise. CBD
The sessions were very organized and time-conscious, ensuring that everything flowed smoothly. The resource speakers and facilitators were approachable, making it easy for participants to engage and ask questions. Most importantly, the sessions were not draining but instead engaging and meaningful. Thank you for providing us with such a well-prepared and productive learning experience. CM

- Abstract must contain the following: problem or gap, research objectives, methodology, principal results, and the number of values and significant conclusions.
- Abstract must be able to stand alone, typed in one paragraph, and should not exceed 300 words.
Submit your abstract using this form: https://forms.gle/RptHkWFiwkaAkCgE6
The submission form will close by June 15, 2026, at 11:59 PM.
Initial Screening
Submitted abstracts will be checked by an IRCIP staff member to ensure they conform to the conference guidelines and to screen out incomplete submissions. Submissions that passed this stage will be assigned a submission number.
Review
Submitted abstracts that passed the initial screening will undergo double-blind peer review and a final review by the IRCIP Conference Committee. Authors may also be asked to review abstracts for the conference. However, authors are under no obligation to participate in the review system, but if you are selected to review and undertake this task of grading abstracts for the conference, you will be acknowledged in the conference program and will receive your certificate.
Abstracts will be evaluated using the following criteria:
- Relevance to theme and cluster
Assesses alignment with “Interdisciplinary Perspectives in Action: Research, Innovation, and Societal Transformation” and the selected cluster/track. - Problem/Rationale and Significance
Evaluates whether the abstract clearly states the problem/gap and explains why the study matters (academic and/or societal value). - Methodological Soundness
Assesses appropriateness and credibility of the method (design, participants/data sources, instruments, analysis approach) given the objectives - Results / Expected Outcomes
Evaluates whether the abstract presents results (or credible expected findings, if early-stage) and avoids purely descriptive promises. - Interdisciplinary Integration
Rates how well the work integrates perspectives/methods from multiple disciplines (not just “mentions” them). Clear evidence of cross-disciplinary logic is expected. - Clarity, Organization, and Academic Writing
Assesses readability, structure, coherence, and adherence to format/word limit.
Scoring scale (per criterion): 5 – Excellent (fully meets/exceeds expectations; clear and compelling), 4 – Very Good (strong; minor gaps only), 3 – Satisfactory (adequate; needs improvement for clarity/rigor), 2 – Weak (major gaps; limited contribution or unclear), 1 – Poor (does not meet criterion)
Decision Bands (based on total score): 26–30: Accept (No Revisions / Minor Edits only), 21–25: Accept with Minor Revisions, 16–20: Revise and Resubmit (Major Revisions), Below 15: Reject
Result Notification
A result notification will usually be sent within 2 to 4 weeks of submission. If the abstract is accepted, you will be invited to register for the conference. A Letter of Acceptance will be emailed together with the instructions for presentation and full paper submission.

PRESENTATION FORMAT
IRCIP follows a virtual presentation format. Virtual presentations allow authors to present their research without time constraints, distractions, or the need to travel.
Presenters are required to create a video of their presentation. Each presentation should be no longer than 10 minutes. Since time usually goes quickly when presenting, it is best to state your key points or findings at the outset. Keep your introductory remarks short (at least 1 minute), and avoid reading every line on your slides.
To ensure you can deliver a complete presentation within the allotted time, do not prepare too many slides. If you spend one minute per slide, the maximum number of slides for 10 minutes is 10. If there is at least one slide that you need to explain a little bit, then you should have fewer than ten slides.
Tip: After you have prepared all your slides, review each to see how essential it is to your presentation, and then cut out slides that, on review, you find are not so essential. Put key points first in case you run out of time.
Recommended video specifications:
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Orientation: Landscape
Format: mp4
