- Submit an abstract in English—the word limits are a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 300 words.
- The abstract submission deadline has been extended to 24 July 2026.
- Upon submission, you can select if you wish to be considered for oral or poster presentation (or both). Following assessment by the Chairs and Scientific Committee, you will be notified by 14 August 2026 whether your contribution has been accepted for oral or poster presentation.
- 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. The Covering Author registration deadline is 28 August 2026. Your abstract will be withdrawn if your registration is not complete by this date.
- The abstract's structure should include the introduction, methods, results, and conclusions sections.
- All abstracts accepted for presentation will be collected in a book of abstracts, which will be displayed on the website during the conference.
Oral presentations
Authors are encouraged to prepare their presentations using PowerPoint or similar software. Please note that all presentations must be delivered in English. A link for slide upload will be provided prior to the conference.
Poster presentations
Each presenter will be provided with a vertical poster board. Maximum poster size is limited to A0: 84 x 120 cm / 33 x 47 in (width x height) in the vertical orientation (portrait). Please print your poster prior to the conference. A plan for the poster session will be circulated later. For suggestions on poster design, click the button below.
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.
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.
Requests for changes to authorship (including the addition, removal, or reordering of authors) after submission must be submitted using a signed Authorship Change Form, with written consent from all affected authors.
