Submissions
Short papers of 2,000-3,000 words are invited for submission. Submissions will be reviewed by members of the scientific committee. The short papers should clearly state the research goals, elaborate methods, and discuss the results to allow the scientific committee to assess their quality. We favour completed research that already provides clear and well-established conclusions.
Only original contributions are considered for presentation at the conference.
A maximum of one presentation is allowed per person registered for the conference.
Submissions are to be written in English and should be submitted electronically using the Easychair portal (Open soon!). All submissions must be relevant to the conference topics. Authors will be asked to select the themes from the topic list that best suit their submission. Please upload your short paper as a PDF file and name it as follows: “last name_first name_hEART2026”.
