Abstracts are evaluated using a peer-review, graded scale. 2-4 persons per subfield will review all papers.
Accepted presenters will be notified to the first author.
Due to time constraints, only a limited number of podiums presentations will be accepted. Therefore, some authors not taken for podium talks will be offered to present a poster.
