*This is a reminder that the deadline to make submissions for #AoIR2025 is 1 March 2025 BRT – a little over 24 hours away!* If you are unsure what time this is where you are, please check here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AoIR2025+Submission+Deadline&iso=20250301T235959&p1=213>. We’re very excited to be making two major innovations this year. This first is that *we are opening space for other languages than English!* For the first time ever, we will accept a limited number of proposals to be presented in Portuguese or Spanish (and that will have simultaneous translation to English). *These proposals must be submitted in English for the review process. * This is restricted to papers, panels, roundtables and fishbowls. As part of the submission process, you will be asked if you would like to present in Portuguese or Spanish. *If your proposal is a panel, roundtable or fishbowl with multiple languages, you must choose only one language for the entire group. The choice you make at this stage will be binding.* As there will be fewer spots for these presentations--because of the need to provide simultaneous translation--you may be accepted but asked to present in English. The second innovation is the introduction of a *tiered system for conference registration fees.* The final fees will be announced in due course, but we are striving to leave last year’s fees unchanged, while offering seriously discounted rates for participants based in the Global South. Without committing to a concrete number right now, the options we are considering are around US$50 for early-bird members, which would bring AoIR in line with similar conferences in Brazil. We mention this now to encourage submissions from people who might be discouraged from even trying to come to the conference based on previous years’ fees. For this year’s conference we are excited to be continuing with our hybrid options, while learning from the experience of Sheffield. To this end, we shall be accepting proposals for papers to be presented remotely and we will be live streaming a number of the sessions, allowing for remote participation in the conference. We shall be limiting the number of remote presentations to one or two per paper panel, and only for some of the panels per session. Finally, two of our core events will continue to run in both face-to-face and online versions: the Doctoral Colloquium <https://aoir.org/aoir2025/aoir2025subtypes/> and the Early Career Researcher (ECR) event. Submissions <https://aoir.org/aoir2025/aoir2025subtypes/> for both modes of the Doctoral Colloquium are open; as with our other preconferences, calls for participation in both modes of the ECR event will be distributed shortly after conference acceptance notifications. We also plan to provide online access for all AoIR members to our larger events (keynote, plenaries, and Annual General Meeting). - - - *Submission to AoIR 2025: Ruptures* The 2025 conference welcomes contributions that address the broad theme of Ruptures <https://aoir.org/aoir2025/aoir2025cfp/>. To re-familiarize yourself with the call for proposals and types of submissions solicited, please see here: https://aoir.org/aoir2025/aoir2025subtypes/ When submitting, please take the time to read the submission categories and topics carefully; this helps us match your submission to a suitable reviewer. To learn more about how submissions are reviewed, please see here: https://aoir.org/sub_review_info_aoir/ *In the interest of diversity and collegiality, each conference participant is limited to presenting a maximum of two papers (either as standalone papers or as parts of a panel or one of each; fishbowls, experimental sessions and roundtables are not counted against your maximum of two presentations). You can be a co-author on additional papers, but you must not be the scheduled presenter of these papers.* Please email any questions about the submissions process to AoIRConfChair [@] aoir.org.
