Authors will be directed to a form where they must fill in all the details and submit the template in Word format.

The file name should indicate the first author’s name and surname (example: John_Smith). If the first author submits more than one abstract, they must indicate the number (example: John_Smith_1).
The abstracts will be assessed based on their scientific quality and their suitability for the topics proposed for the conference. The authors will be notified by 7th May 2024 of the acceptance of their abstract. Papers will be accepted after a peer review process carried out by at least two members of the Scientific Committee.

Subsequently, participants with the best accepted short abstracts will be invited to submit their extended abstract (1 to 4 pages) by 15th June 2024, to be published in the MDPI Journal Proceedings. The template for this extended abstract is available on the conference website. Authors can consult the publisher's website for more detailed instructions:
