PRESENTATION CATEGORIES

The conference scientific committee is pleased to announce a call for abstracts for oral and poster presentation and symposia.

A symposium comprises a set of related papers (3 or 4 papers) that is submitted by a symposium chair, along with a short symposium abstract that describes how the papers are related.

All submitted abstracts will be reviewed for acceptance based on their scientific merit.

 

Kindly specify if you would prefer an oral, poster or symposium presentation on the online submission form.
