CFP: Academic Abstract Writing Program 2026

The online Academic Abstract Writing Program 2026 at Design Incubation offers a series of activities that will help design researchers craft a written synopsis of their research. The outcome(s) goals include a concisely written document, typically expected of academic publication venues. This includes conferences, journals, grant applications, publishers, and academic organizations.

The program is designed along two tracks:

The first track is for design faculty who are new to academia and want a program that will help them navigate the academic publication venues.
The second track is aimed at design faculty who have established their research agenda and activities and would like to explore ways to broaden their scope of publication opportunities.

Complete all required application information. Submit as much information as possible in the other fields to help us to understand your interests, goals, and challenges.

Seats are limited for this fellowship program. Upon acceptance, there is a $125 (members)/ $175 (non-members) program registration fee.
