Virtual Conference Dates

As a result of the disruption to travel caused by Covid-19, we have changed our international academic conference to take place online instead of face to face this year. The conference dates remain the same - August 27 and August 28 - as these are the dates people have allocated to attend the conference. We expect most participants will still commit their time during this window to participate in the conference and have discussions with fellow researchers around the world.

Submission details

Although preference will be given to full papers, abstracts of 200-500 words will also be considered. Please email your papers and abstracts before August 21, 2020.

Information for Authors of Accepted Papers

All accepted papers at the virtual conference will be presented using a pre-recorded video followed by an interactive online discussion.

All accepted papers (poster, spotlight, long talk) will need to create a 5-minute video that will be used during the virtual poster session.

In addition, papers accepted as a long-talk should create a 10-minute video.

Each video should use a set of slides, and should be timed carefully to not exceed the time allocation. The slides should be in widescreen format (16:9), and can be created in any presentation software that allows you to export to PDF (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi, etc).
