Call for speakers and posters

We are therefore issuing a call for speakers to participate in these sessions.

Why submit? 

These sessions are designed to foster scientific exchange and collaboration among participants. We therefore particularly encourage submissions presenting innovative results, ongoing projects, or original approaches, even if they are preliminary. You can submit your proposal on the Sciences Conf website during registration or at a later date, or via email.

If you do not wish to give an oral presentation but would still like to share your work, you can also submit a poster (Monday evening poster session).

Both oral presentations and posters will be entered into a contest with great prizes to be won.
