Abstract guidelines and submission

Each participant can submit only two abstracts of any type at most: one individual and one co-authored. The abstract – not exceeding 250-300 words (examples and references excluded) – should be written in English. Please, use Times New Roman normal 12-point fonts. Abstracts in MS Word Rich Text Format (.rtf) have to be submitted via the on-line form on the conference web site. The abstracts sent by snail mail or by fax will not be accepted.

Abstracts must contain the following information:

  • Paper title
  • Name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s)
  • The topic and the research methodology
  • The relevant bibliography

Due to the overwhelming number of papers offered, we regret that submission of a title and abstract does not guarantee inclusion in the conference programme. Acceptance in the programme will be based upon a review by the conference committee of the abstracts submitted. All abstracts will be evaluated anonymously by a review committee whose members will be confidential and selected papers will be announced on April 15, 2010.

Papers must not exceed 20 minutes in length.

The deadline for abstract submission is February 28, 2010.
