Posters will also be accepted in size A0, portrait. Please state paper or poster on your submission.

The deadline for abstract submission is the 19th October 2020 27th October 2020.

Article guidelines

• Abstract summary of 200-300 words.

Type of material and style

Papers should be original and of high quality and if published elsewhere, they should provide for a different perspective. For example, research papers and case studies that help towards promoting, sharing and re-using knowledge, experiences and lessons learnt. The style and terminology used and the ideas expressed should be clear and accessible to a wide audience. Such clarity should not be detrimental to the depth and precision of contents.
