Review Process

The submitted abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of experts in the relevant fields and the decision about the acceptance/ rejection/ acceptance with changes will be notified to the authors. If the reviewers decision is ‘acceptance with changes’, you have to do the changes mentioned in the reviewer’s comments and make the camera ready copy.

If your paper is accepted, submit the camera ready copy after addressing the comments of the reviewers.
The acceptance of the work ensures that the work will be presented at the conference.

If the work involves more than one author, we expect the presence of at least one author at the symposium.

Presentation Formats
  • Oral Presentation – (15 minutes: 12 minute talk + 3 minute Q&A) – Oral presentations are ideal for presenting research projects that are close to completion, with emerging conclusions.
    Oral presentation template can be downloaded here.
  • Poster – Because they are on show for the entire symposium, poster presentations allow you to showcase your work to a broader audience and provide opportunities for discussion with your peers one-on-one or in small groups. Traditionally, poster presenters have used the opportunity to present works in progress, preliminary results, new methods and techniques, or detailed proposals for future research.
