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.
