We are particularly looking for papers which fit within the themes below. However, if you wish to submit a paper that doesn’t comfortably sit within one of these themes, please select ‘Other’ as the theme on the submissions tool and give your paper a clear title.
The themes for the International Carers Broadcast Conference are:

• Combining work and care: how can we support people to manage their working and caring lives, contributing to business, economic and social sustainability?
• Paying for care: how can we share the costs of care between the individual, family, community and the state? How can we ensure there is a vibrant market for care?
• Technology-enabled care and support: how can new technologies support the delivery of care, transform the lives of individuals and families and drive economic growth?
Other (if your paper doesn't fit any of the themes above we are open to innovative projects and insights)
Selected papers will be for presentation in seminar sessions
