Congress proceedings and submission of papers

The proceedings will include all submitted and accepted oral and poster presentations and will be made available to the participants at the beginning of the Congress. Only one contribution per registration will be accepted. Two alternative ways for publication of the presentations will be possible: a)abstract; or b) extended congress paper. The Scientific Committee will select the oral contributions based on the preferences of the autors and interest to the broad audience of participants in the Congress.

Types of papers:
Authors of oral or poster presentations can submit either an abstract (one page) or an extended congress paper (up to four pages) for the proceedings. Manuscripts should be written in standard English in MS Word, Times New Roman 12 pt. font, and single-spaced throughout (DINA4, 21 x 29,7 cm). The margins should be 2.5 cm. The papers have to be submitted camera-ready and figures and tables included in the text. Authors are responsible for the content and layout. Papers needing major revision will be sent back to the author(s). Samples of both abstract and full paper contributions can be downloaded from:
