The online abstract submission system is accessible through the Congress website.

All submitted abstracts must be original and should not have been published or presented elsewhere. Abstracts accepted for presentation at the congress must contribute to scientific advancement and convey a clear, conclusive message. Submissions will undergo evaluation by the scientific committee based on the following criteria:

Relevance of Topic and Content: The problem's originality and significance, as well as its relevance to the congress theme and topics.

Contribution to Education: Scientific or educational value. Theoretical or practical framework and its contribution to the field.

Analysis and Interpretation: Coherence between results and findings. Applicability of conclusions to practical settings, policy development, or innovation. Generalizability and usefulness of findings in the relevant field.

Potential for Interaction: Engaging the audience and fostering diverse perspectives through discussion.

Ethical Standards: Compliance with ethical research principles. Declaration of ethics committee approval for studies involving human or animal subjects. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest.

Since the papers will be included in the Abstract Book in the same way as the last version edited by the author, attention should be paid to spelling errors.

The presenting author must be registered for the congress, and each author is permitted to submit up to two abstracts under one registration.

Evaluation of Abstracts

The evaluation process for abstracts will be conducted online by the Congress Scientific Committee members under strict confidentiality. The names, surnames, and institutional affiliations of the researchers will not be disclosed. Each abstract will be reviewed by at least two members of the scientific committee to assess its scientific merit and relevance, employing the double-blind peer-review principle. Referees will not communicate directly with the authors; feedback and evaluations will be conveyed through the abstract management system.

 

At least one of the researchers must be registered for the congress for the abstract to be considered for evaluation. Abstracts submitted without participant registration will not be included in the congress proceedings. Abstracts may be accepted as either oral or poster presentations. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to decide the presentation format. Authors of abstracts that are deemed unsuitable for the congress theme will be notified. All authors will receive acceptance or rejection letters along with the final decision regarding the presentation format (oral or poster).

 

Accepted abstracts will be published in the Congress proceedings book as abstracts or full texts. The proceedings book will be made available as a PDF with an e-ISBN on the congress website following the event. Full texts of selected papers, approved by the Scientific Committee and the authors, will also be published.
