  2. Innovation: Does the study employ novel concepts and aims or original methods?
  3. Approach: Are the conceptual frameworks, designs, methods, and analyses adequate?
  4. Usefulness: How can the research objectives benefit the respective scientific area?
  5. Clarity: How clear and well-organized is the presentation?
  • Full paper submission guidelines

The full paper should be submitted by the designated deadline. All papers will be subjected to peer-reviewing and are expected to meet the scientific criteria of novelty and academic excellence. Results of the paper review will be sent to the author in due time, along with reviewer comments. Before final submission, all reviewers’ comments must be considered.

Researchers should submit their papers electronically here. Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages, including illustrations and references. All papers must be submitted as both .doc (or .docx) and .pdf format, without page numbers.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that the article’s publication has been approved by all authors and takes responsibility for the paper during submission and peer review.

The researcher(s) will be notified whether their accepted paper will be prepared as an oral presentation of 20 minutes duration (15’ minutes presentation + 5 minutes questions and discussion) or a poster.

Please, format your paper according to the following template Microsoft Word or Latex

  • Workshop proposal submission

Proposals for workshops should be about two (2) pages in length, and should contain the following:

  1. A description of the workshop topic. Identify the specific issues on which the workshop will focus.
  2. A brief discussion of why the topic is of particular interest at this time, including a discussion of prior workshops in this area (if applicable).
  3. A brief description highlighting the organizing committee’s expertise in the area and experience organizing similar events.
  4. A brief description of the proposed workshop format, regarding the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels and general discussion.
  5. The names and full contact information (email and postal addresses, fax and telephone numbers) of the organizing committee – three or four people knowledgeable in the field – and short descriptions of their relevant expertise. (Please specify the main contact.)

Workshop proposals should be submitted electronically here as soon as possible and no later than the designated deadline. Word format is preferred. Organizers will be notified of the Committee’s decision.

  • Poster presentation guidelines

Posters will be exhibited on a billboard at scheduled day and time according to the programme. They should be placed at the indicated place for all the session and should be removed after finishing the poster session the same day. The Organising Committee of the Conference will provide push pins and a display board. Please bring other materials you may need such as a tape or line level.The maximum poster size is A0: 1189 mm x 841 mm (portrait or landscape).

Authors are expected to be present by their poster during the session.

Each poster display should clearly include the title and the name(s) of the presenter(s) at the top of the poster. Extensive, imaginative use of captioned illustrations, photographs, graphs or other types of visually appealing material is key to a successful poster presentation. Lettering needs to be large enough to read from several feet away.

  • Oral presentation guidelines

The time slot for an oral presentation is 15 minutes, including discussion. A talk should, therefore, not exceed 10 minutes.

The room for oral presentations will be equipped with a multimedia PC running Windows, Microsoft PowerPoint and Acrobat Reader available. You may bring your presentation on a USB flash drive.

Only a limited number of papers will be presented as oral sessions.
