Call for Papers
There are three different ways to present a contribution to Congress:
a) Oral, b) Poster, and c) Distant.
All types of contributions should be described in a “short paper” written according to the strict guidelines presented in the template of the Congress available below and submitted through the “Submissions” section of this website. Short papers should not exceed 2 pages, following the general structure and using the font type, margins and instructions presented in the template. All types of short papers will follow a peer-review process and authors will be asked to revise their short papers according to the Reviewers’ comments.
Short papers from all categories are considered equivalent and will be included in the Proceedings of the Congress, which will be available to the participants during the Congress.
For the Distant Papers, the authors are obliged to send their presentation in a video after the final acceptance of their Paper.
All Papers will be evaluated for possible invitation to be extended and improved to be published as full articles in the journals of EWRA (with the consent of the authors). This process will take place after Congress.
Poster Papers
Poster sessions are scheduled during the Congress, as will be presented in the detailed Congress Programme and they are integrated in the Congress activities. You should check the Congress Programme, when it becomes available and on-line, to find the date scheduled for your poster presentation.
Posters could be uploaded in specific boards in the morning of the poster sessions. Chair persons will be assigned to poster sessions and authors are requested to be available during the scheduled poster sessions for questions on their poster.
A standard poster board will be provided for your poster. Your poster details (number of poster paper, etc.) will appear on the top side of the board so as to locate your board easily.
Further information regarding the poster size and orientation will be released soon on this website.
Distant Papers
Distant Papers may be submitted by scientists and engineers from all low-income countries of the world. The concept behind the Distant Paper submission is to give the opportunity to a wider audience of people from distant countries to participate in this benchmark event.
Distant Papers may be submitted on all topics of the Congress. They will be treated as regular contributions submitted for oral presentation in the Congress, included in the Proceedings, and evaluated for possible publication (after expansion and amendment) in the EWRA journals. The guidelines for writing a “Distant Paper” are the same as for all the other types of papers (e.g., oral or poster). Also the deadlines for the Distant Papers submission are the same as for all the other types of papers.
The authors of Distant Papers are obliged to send their presentation on video after the final acceptance of their paper. Distant Papers will be treated as oral papers without the presence of the authors. The presentation of these Papers will be done via high-quality videos with sound prepared by the authors and submitted after the final acceptance of the paper. Videos of 10 minutes containing no more than 15 slides are required for each presentation. A rapporteur will be responsible for the presentation of the papers.
Deadline for Paper Submissions
The deadline for short paper submissions is the 15th December 2024 – 23:55 (Rome time, UTC+1).
Language
The language of the Congress (presentations and discussions) will be English. No translation to any other language will be available.
