21st Century Academic Forum Conference at Brown University Call for Paper / Poster Abstract Proposals Conference Dates: September 12-14, 2014 Venue: Brown University Conference Center (Providence, Rhode Island USA) Types of Presentations: Keynote Presentations: 45 minutes (invited only) Research Papers: 20 - 25 minute presentations Poster Presentations: 90 minutes Conference Description: The theme of the 21st Century Academic Forum Conference at Brown University is "Fostering Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship." The organizers encourage submissions that approach this theme from a variety of perspectives under two major topic tracks: (1) creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship and (2) teaching and learning in the 21st century. The primary aim of the conference is to bring together an international group of researchers and practitioners to encourage and support the development of a new framework for better understanding the dynamic and interconnected nature of education, research, business, and life in the "knowledge economy." Join us on the beautiful Brown University campus in the picturesque city Providence, Rhode Island September 12-14, 2014 to learn with and from your fellow conference participants. Those interested in attending as Non-Presenters (Listeners) are most welcome to join in this learning and networking experience as well! Keynote Speakers: Dr. Chris Dede (Harvard University) and Dr. Calvert Jones (The City College of New York) Paper Publication Opportunities: All papers that meet the 21st Century Academic Forum's Conference Proceedings requirements will be published in our online Conference Proceedings (ISSN: 2330-1236). Papers must be submitted for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings by December 14, 2014. We purposely set the deadline for papers three months following the conference with the rationale that authors should use the feedback they receive at the conference in crafting their final drafts of their paper. The Conference Proceedings will be published on March 16, 2015. The Conference Proceedings editorial board in turn works with the editors of our three peer-reviewed journals to select papers for possible publication in one of our three online peer-reviewed journals listed below. The International Journal of 21st Century Education (ISSN: 2330-1244) The International Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (ISSN: 2333-9659) Journal of Language Learning and Teaching for the 21st Century (ISSN: 2333-9640) The editors of these journals will contact selected authors and begin the editing process and ultimately publish quarterly issues of each journal based on a thematic basis. The 21st Century Academic Forum is fully committed to Open Access information, making your research papers available to a global audience.
