If the proposal has been co-authored, the author must indicate the details of each of them (name, university, country, and email).
No. You can send as many proposals as you wish. However, in order to give a fair chance to the greatest number of people to present, within the limitations of the programming, only one presentation per author and registration will be allowed. This means that three registered authors may submit three presentations and three articles jointly (that is, as co-authors).
Making changes to approved proposals is not permitted. While the proposal is under review or re-submission, you can make corrections.
The scientific committee will review your proposal within 2-3 weeks and send you an email notification. This notification may arrive in your spam folder (spam). If that occurs, please look in spam and mark the message as the desired email to ensure the correct reception of subsequent notifications.
You can see if your proposal has been accepted and its details in the “My proposals” area of your user panel.
Yes. At the end of the conference, the digital Book of Proceedings (with ISBN) is published with the long summaries (abstract) of the papers presented.

Yes, we try to satisfy all requests. When paying for your registration, in the “Client Notes” area, you can propose the day that suits you best to deliver your presentation. However, we only offer this option to registrations made up to 1 month before a conference.
The first draft of the programme will be available approximately 1 month before the start of the conference.

If you are attending the conference as a listener, you can request a certificate of attendance in your name for a fee of 30 EUR. To do so, please use our customer service form.

If the author of the proposal indicates the existence of co-authors at the time of submission, they will be recognized as such at the bottom of the certificate.
If a participant wishes a certificate in the name of a co-author who has collaborated in the work but who has not attended the conference, a ‘Co-author Certificate’ can be obtained for an additional fee of 20 EUR.
If you are attending the conference and are a co-author of a proposal presented by another participant at the conference, you may request an extra certificate in your name.
If you are not attending the conference but have co-authored a paper presented by another participant, you can request a “co-author certificate” in your name.
The certificate has a supplement of 20 EUR and will be sent by email when the conference is over. The participant’s data will appear as he/she has entered them into the software platform when submitting the proposal.
