Only abstracts which follow the submission guidelines and are received before deadline will be taken into consideration by the Abstract Committee.
Accepted abstracts will be presented as a poster and selected papers will also be published in an online international peer reviewed journal.

A session where each speaker will be given six minutes to present their abstract and afterwards there will be questions from the audience.
