The Call for Papers is officially open for submitting contributions addressing the symposium topics. Submission deadline: 10 March 2025.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers must be prepared using our paper template and submitted in MS WORD format (.docx) using the submission form.
Proposals should be submitted in the form of full papers or short papers (at least 3-4 pages).
Papers may be submitted for oral or poster presentation.
The official language of the Symposium is English, therefore all papers must be written and presented in English.
In addition, the Symposium may include a session to be held entirely in Italian, in order to facilitate the participation of local delegates. Italian authors may freely submit abstracts for inclusion in both English and Italian sessions.
EVALUATION
Papers will be selected following evaluation by an international and multidisciplinary panel of experts. Final destination (oral/poster) will be established according to the following criteria: request by the author, topic relevance, characteristics of the paper (highly specific, preliminary results, case study) and number of papers received on the same topic.
Acceptance of papers will be notified to the presenting author within 17 March 2025. Authors not receiving the notification of acceptance/rejection of their paper should contact the Organising Secretariat at info@sumsymposium.it
Please note that acceptance of your paper does not automatically register you in the conference. The author who will present the paper at the Symposium (presenting author) must register and pay their entrance fee within 10 days after receipt of the acceptance notification. Only one presenting author can be appointed for each paper. Each speaker may deliver up to two presentations during the conference.
PAPER PUBLICATION
Following notification of acceptance, ALL presenting authors (including those scheduled for poster presentations) should provide the following:
Authors presenting their work in an oral session will be requested to submit their PowerPoint presentations no later than 9 May 2025.
Authors presenting a poster should display the contents of their paper in a few slides of a PowerPoint presentation (2-3 slides, horizontal format) and send the PPT file by email at info@sumsymposium.it no later than 2 May 2025.
All papers presented at the conference will be published in a dedicated set of Symposium Proceedings. Additionally, a considerable number of leading papers will be selected for possible publication in special thematic issues on international renowned journals.
