The Academic Committee of the Conference cannot finalise your proposal without an abstract, which should reach us before November 2018. Not all papers which appear on the first draft of our programme will be accepted, for the Scientific Committee can only confirm your participation in the conference after reading your abstract. Your abstract should be around 300 words, and it should contain the main sources of your research as well as the main points of your talk.
