Call for Papers

Abstracts will be selected for oral or poster presentations. A preference for poster presentation can be indicated although the Scientific Committee will make the final decision as to how the abstract will be presented.
All oral presentations must be made in English and the latest equipment will be made available to speakers. Posters must also be presented in English.

Abstracts accepted for presentation will be published in the congress abstract book that will be distributed to all participants.

Acceptance or rejection of an abstract is based on the average mark awarded by the reviewers.

Registration fees will be waived for speakers from the Academica World or Authorities if their abstracts are accepted for oral presentation.

Abstracts selected for presentation will have the opportunity to provide a full paper (giving them high visibility & credibility since they are peer-reviewed by the CESIO expert program committee).
In addition, the CESIO Congress committee will seek publication of these full papers in a well known peer-reviewed journal (publication after the Congress).
