Abstracts submission (deadline: September 30, 2023)

Participants must submit an abstract proposal between 200 - 400 words before October 15, 2023 through the Sciforum platform. The proposals accepted by the scientific committee will be published in an 4-page extended abstract format in the proceedings that will be published after the conference. The extended abstracts will be provided with individual DOI and Handle registration and will be published online, in open access, with a Creative Commons license (BY-NC-ND) in the UPCT digital repository, provided that the authors do not express their express disagreement, in order to provide the congress with the maximum diffusion, and allowing free access to all communications. A proceedings book will be also published with ISBN code in the UPCT digital repository to ensure maximum dissemination of the conference. Those proposals that are most relevant in the opinion of the scientific committee of the conference will be invited to publish free of charge in several of the scientific journals that sponsor the event. (Note: remember that registration and abstract submission are different actions, please read registration section).

Oral/Poster presentation and proceedings submission

The proposals whose abstract has been accepted by the scientific committee of the conference, will be able to make oral presentation at the event (live or asynchronously) or present it in poster format. In addition, they may submit an extended four-page version of the abstract following this template, which will be published in the conference proceedings. Extended abstracts for publication in the conference proceedings must be uploaded for review before January 10 and will also opt to be chosen to publish for free in special issues of the journals that sponsor the event.
Both the word and pdf documents with extended abstracts for the conference proceedings, as well as videos for asynchronous presentations and pdf with the posters for those researchers who have requested any of these modalities, should be uploaded through the Sciforum platform, all of which are options enabled once the scientific committee has validated the abstract. Authors who wish to make an oral presentation in asynchronous mode must upload a video of a maximum duration of 12 minutes per presentation. There is no specific template for posters and oral presentations, whose design is freely chosen by the authors. In this file you can find some recommendations on the contents to include for those authors who submit a poster presentation.
