Failing to respond to this requirement will oblige us to withhold the submission until the proper changes have been made to the document. Double-blind review is assured for all: the scientific committee will not be granted access to the identity(ies) of the author(s).

Communications will have a 30 minutes time slot. We recommend leaving 5-10 minutes for questions and answers. Abstracts should be titled and 500 words maximum (excluding bibliographical references). Importantly, they should be prepared for blind-review.
- Format of Proposals for Symposia submissions
Symposia are 90 minutes formats for connected presentations. Ideally they are aimed to include 3 presenters. However, Symposia with a different number of speakers will be accepted if the 90 minutes duration is respected.
Together with the requirements described above, proposals for Symposia must include:
