Communications

Contributions will only be accepted if they are correctly adapted to the presentation indications; failure to use the indications will be cause for rejection. Subsequently, the evaluation will be carried out and the result will be communicated according to the scheduled date (see key dates). 

The following must appear in the submitted abstract: 

  • Authors and institution and e-mail of the corresponding author
  • Thematic area selected. 
  • Title, abstract of 400 words and keywords. 
  • Five sources of relevant bibliography used 

For the scientific work to be definitively accepted and published, it will be necessary to have formalized the registration in the Congress of all the authors. 

When the scientific committee accepts the communication, a pdf with the evaluation will be sent. The PDF must be uploaded on the registration platform. In the inscription you have to tick the box "Tengo derecho a un descuento", and choose in the dropdown the option of "asistencia con comunicación".

The communication may not have more than three authors, with a maximum of two contributions per author, i.e. an author can only appear in two contributions at the Congress. Appearing in more than two will be grounds for exclusion of that author. 

The papers accepted for the Workshop may be selected to be published as book chapters in a collective book by a prestigious publisher (SPI índex). Selected contributions will be previously adapted by the authors to comply with the editorial norms.
