Two types of submission

Participants are invited to submit:

• abstracts of oral paper presentations, if they would just like to present papers without having them published; or
• full papers to be reviewed for publication in Volume 21 of BCES Conference Books 2023.

Clarification

• In case of abstract submission, no full text submission is required. Participants submit abstracts only.
• In case of full paper submission, no preliminary abstract submission is required. Participants directly submit full papers.

• Participants may attend the Conference just as listeners, without submitting and presenting anything.
