The deadline for oral abstract submission has been extended to April 18th, 2022. The deadline for Poster abstract submission is May 16th, 2022.
Abstracts must include the title of the contribute, name(s) of the author(s), the affiliation(s) and an e-mail address for correspondence. The abstract should report the substantive problem and the data analyzed, as well as the approach and models used. Also include a clear statement of the main results and conclusions and the key references. The workshop language is English.
Please use the provided TEMPLATE_IWSM_2022.ZIPto create abstracts. The accepted length for abstract submission is 4 pages. Once the abstract has been reviewed after the first submission, the authors can provide a longer abstract of no more than 6 pages.
After having created your 4-page abstract with the provided style files, you can submit the compiled pdf to the Google Form below.
The presenting author must also specify whether he/she is a student who can automatically compete for one of the students’ awards (see below for further students’ information and awards).
REVIEW STEP: the abstract will be reviewed and sent back to the authors within Tuesday 17th, May 2022. At this stage, authors are required to review their abstract and allowed to submit their revised version. Due to the limited number of oral presentations, some authors who have submitted an abstract for an oral presentation might be asked to switch to a submission for a poster presentation instead.
NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE: the authors will be notified about abstract acceptance some days after the reviewed submission.
Registration and payment (for at least one of the paper co-authors) are requested before submitting the final manuscript
All the accepted abstracts will be included in the online Workshop Proceedings (with regular ISBN).
Information for students
The SMS and IWSM strongly encourage students to submit posters and papers.
Therefore, some awards and some travel grants are provided.
We strongly recommend that contestants check in advance the documentation required to come to Italy (VISA) and the actual COVID-19 rules.
Check on Italian Foreign Ministry (https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home.aspx) if you need a VISA (we suggest to indicate ‘Tourism’ as reason to Visit).
