Additional information for session convenors

To ensure the proper organisation of the conference programme, each accepted session must receive a minimum number of four abstracts during the Call for Abstracts phase.

For each confirmed session, at least one of the session proposers must register for the conference and act as session chair and organisational coordinator. The convenor will be responsible for coordinating the session, moderating presentations, and ensuring the smooth running of the session during the conference.

Session convenors may also choose to present a paper within their session. In this case, only one paper per convenor may be submitted and presented.

If a proposed session does not receive the minimum number of abstracts, the organising committee reserves the right to merge the session with other similar sessions or to reassign individual papers to other thematic sessions within the programme.

Sessions that reach this minimum threshold will be included in the final programme. For each confirmed session, at least one of the session convenors is required to register for the conference.

Call for Abstracts

Researchers are invited to submit abstracts for presentation within the accepted thematic sessions of the conference.

Abstracts should clearly present the research question, methodological approach, and main findings or expected contributions.

Presentation policy

To ensure a balanced scientific programme and avoid scheduling conflicts, each registered participant may submit and present only one abstract as presenting author.

Participants may nevertheless appear as co-authors on additional contributions, provided that each contribution is presented by a different registered participant.
