FAQ

How to attend to the conference?

There are two possible options:

  • Presenter: the first step is to submit an abstract; if the Scientific Committee accepts it then it is possible for the author to register and proceed with the payment to validate the registration.
  • Listener: in this case, it is possible to register directly as a listener without submitting any abstract.
Is it possible to submit an abstract after the early bird submission deadline?

Yes, you can submit your abstract until the regular submission deadline.

Does it increase the chances of acceptance if the abstract is submitted before the early bird submission deadline?

No, the Scientific Committee members do not take into account this criterion when reviewing the abstracts.

Is it possible to submit more than one abstract by presenter?

Yes, it is possible to present up to 3 abstracts.

Is it possible to create an account in the platform submission system and come back later to submit?

What is the mandatory information for a submission?

Title, abstract content, authors (names & contact details), presentation type (oral, poster), related topic(s)

What are the related topics?

There are the conference topics that are the closest to the content of your abstract. It is important to choose the accurate related topic(s) because the abstract will be sent to the reviewers who are experts in the selected topic(s).

What are the reviewing criteria?

Submissions are reviewed based on:

The Technical Merit: How solid is the presented work? Is the evaluation methodology appropriate? Does the data seem accurate? Are there any fatal flaws in underlying assumptions?

The Readability: How easy is it to understand the submission? Factors that can affect readability include writing style, grammar, spelling, over-use (or under-use in some cases) of equations, inappropriate submission length, or improper font sizes.

The Relevance: How appropriate is this submission for this conference? Sometimes even good submissions are better suited to other locations.

The Originality: Will attendees learn something that they didn’t already know from this submission?

Which kind of abstract could be accepted for workshop presentation?

The presented work should be particularly original, considered of great interest for the scientific research, and present novel perspectives.

Does it increase the chances of acceptance if the abstract is submitted for poster rather than oral or workshop presentation?

Yes, oral and workshop presentations are more competitive. But, if an abstract is submitted for oral or workshop presentation and the Scientific Committee decides that the work is more suitable for poster presentation then the author would have the opportunity to register and do a poster presentation.

How to be sure that the submission is validated and ready to be reviewed?

The submission is validated and ready to be reviewed once all mandatory information (above mentioned) is filled correctly.

How to know whether an abstract is accepted or not?

Once the Scientific Committee has reviewed the abstract, the Organizing Committee sends an email to inform the author about the result. If the abstract is accepted then the author receives an “Acceptance Letter”.

How to benefit from the early bird rate?

You need to submit your abstract before the early bird submission date and pay the registration fees before the early bird registration date.

Is it mandatory to submit the full paper?

No.

Is it possible to get an invitation letter for VISA request?

Is it possible to attend the conference without submitting any work?

Does the conference organizer provide proof of attendance?
