TLC Global Gratitude Summit—Call for Speakers May 2025
Do you have new research findings on gratitude you'd like to share with a vibrant and collaborative community?
​
We invite you to submit your research for presentation at The Love Consortium's 2025 Global Gratitude Summit! It will take place virtually on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
​
We are currently accepting submissions for three scientific presentation formats: virtual posters, flash talks (5 minutes), and full talks (15-20 minutes). Although not required, in the case of comparable ratings, priority will be given to talks using data described on the Global Gratitude Dataverse (GGDv). Please click here to learn more about posting your dataset desciption to the GGDv.
​​
This year, we're introducing a new opportunity to facilitate and inspire collaborations: We are also accepting submissions for a dataset description session. If you have a data citation for a dataset you have described on the GGDv, you can submit for a 5-minute presentation to introduce your dataset to potential collaborators. What untapped potential does your dataset hold?
​
​​​Click the link below to submit your research for the scientific presentation and/or your dataset for the dataset description session. ​
​
Submit your research!
​
Submissions are due by January 31 and decisions will be announced by February 28.
​​
What to know before you submit
​
Within the submission survey for the scientific presentations, you'll be asked to provide a 500-word abstract detailing your research. This abstract must include background information, your research question or hypothesis, study design, sample size, analysis approach, and a statement about the contribution of this work to the science of gratitude. We are especially eager to feature research conducted outside of WEIRD (Western Educated Industrialized Rich & Democratic) populations.
​
Submissions will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
-
Scientific contribution: To what extent does the research advance the science of gratitude?
-
Methodological quality: How sound are the methods, analyses, and conclusions?​
​
After these criteria, we will consider the overall programmatic experience when determining which presentations should be given in which format.
​
We look forward to learning more about your research! Please reach out via email (theloveconsortium@unc.edu) with any questions.
​
Note: the precise timing and format of the event will depend on final talk selections. To include as many of our global colleagues as possible, the event may include multiple sessions across the day.​

WEBINARS
Join us for an upcoming informational webinar! During our time together, we will give an overview of The Love Consortium Dataverse, explain the process to post a dataset description, and answer any questions you may have. Each webinar takes about 30 minutes, but we reserve the full hour for additional conversation, should the Q&A portion run over.
