All abstracts accepted for presentation will be collected in a book of abstracts, which will be displayed on the website during the conference.

Please note that, in order to finalize the scientific program in due time, at least one registration by any of the authors, denoted as Covering Author, is required to cover the presentation and publication of any accepted abstract. Covering Author registration deadline is 18 March 2027. Your abstract will be withdrawn if your registration is not complete by this date.

You will be asked to select the contribution type (oral contribution, poster contribution, or both) during the submission process. However, it is subject to change according to the decision of the conference chair and the scientific committee.

Withdrawal Policy

Any request concerning abstract or proceedings paper withdrawal should be communicated to the Conference Organizing Team as early as possible, preferably prior to final acceptance and confirmation of the conference program. Please note that once abstracts are published in the Conference Report or once Proceedings papers are published in the Proceedings journal and assigned a DOI, they become part of the permanent scholarly record and cannot be fully removed.

AI Policy

The responsible use of generative AI tools in the preparation of abstracts, posters, and presentations is permitted; however, any such use must be clearly disclosed, specifying the tool employed and its role. Authors retain full responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of their work.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Authors must disclose any financial, professional, or personal relationships that could reasonably be perceived as influencing the integrity, interpretation, or presentation of their work. Failure to provide accurate disclosures may result in the removal of the abstract from the conference program and associated publications.

If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest". The declaration should be provided through the designated Sciforum submission field or other conference-specified mechanism. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.
