About the proceedings
"Abstract book, e-proceedings with ISBN, and partner-journal routes — open access, no paywall."
INSPIRE — Inclusive Symposium Proceedings on Innovation, Research, and Education — publishes the refereed outputs of iSDISD, the International Symposium on Disability, Innovation, and Sustainable Development, hosted by Universitas Negeri Surabaya and the Disability Innovation Centre (DIC) UNESA. The proceedings are open access and archived on this OJS platform.
Outputs appear as an abstract book, e-proceedings with an international ISBN, and selected papers developed with UNESA journals or the SEAMEO SEN partner journal. Publication is not automatic: ethics, originality, quality, and editorial requirements decide.
Presenters submit a 250–300 word abstract (3–5 keywords); a 4,000–6,000 word full paper is optional. Every presentation runs 12 minutes plus 5 minutes of discussion across five parallel tracks, and all materials must follow accessibility requirements.
