Submission guidelines

We invite prospective authors to submit proposals of oral presentations or posters until December 10, 2026. When writing your abstract, we recommend the following structure:

Abstracts

• Background: State the context, the problem being addressed, and the objectives of the study.
• Methods: Briefly describe the research/project design, data collection, and analytical methods if applicable.
• Results: Summarize the primary findings or expected outcomes (do not simply reference data without interpretation).
• Conclusion: State the implications of your findings and the significance of the research.

Abstracts must adhere to the provided template. Please read the instructions carefully; the abstracts which do not adhere to these requirements and format will be returned for resubmittal. Please carefully proofread the abstract before submission, and if necessary have it reviewed by a native English speaker.

Submitting authors are invited to indicate to which thematic track(s) their proposals relate. The Organizing Committee reserves the right to decide to which topic and which parallel session the proposals will finally be allocated. All accepted abstracts will be included in an ISBN-published Book of Abstracts.

These sessions/workshops are meant to trigger a lively debate and confront ideas on the proposed topic (which may correspond to the pre-defined thematic tracks or not). Send your proposal using this template, and including:

• Which emerging/controversial ideas are expected to be addressed
