All submissions are, independent of format, subjected to a peer-review process to secure high quality.

A notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the submitter (contact person) only. It is the responsibility of the submitter to notify other authors. Notification to the authors is expected from June 10. UPDATE

If the abstract is accepted the presenting author needs to be registered on due date to confirm participation in the programme and to attend the congress to present the contribution. Otherwise, the contribution will be withdrawn from the Congress programme.
