Abstract Submissions
The congress languages are English, French and German. IOSOT is proud of that diversity and encourages those who wish to submit a proposal for a short paper in French or German to do just that and not to feel obliged to use English. In order to attract more papers in French and German, we are extending the deadline until 10 March.
You are invited to submit abstracts for short papers; the deadline is 10 March 2019. If you intend to submit an abstract for an IOSOT short paper, please choose one of the topics 1-18 on the list which you see here on the page and which you will find on the drop-down menu during the electronic submissions process. If, however, you intend to submit an abstract relating to the meetings of one of the sister organisations of IOSOT (i.e., IOSCS, IOQS, IOMS, and ISLP), please choose option 19 from the drop-down menu. Under 'Conference Session', then please check the appropriate box (IOSOT, IOSCS, IOQS, IOMS, or ISLP). Information on submissions to these sessions can be found here.
We allow 20 -25 minutes for the short papers and 5-10 mnutes for Q & A.
