Full papers (min. 2000 words, single-spaced on 11-sized Times New Roman) will
be considered to be included in the conference compilation volume providing at
least one author registers and presents the paper at the Conference. Papers
will be double-blind reviewed by members of the conference committee and may be
rejected due to a poor standard of English. Details on format of papers will be
available in the acceptance email sent to potential presenters. The review
committee has the right to ask for changes in the paper. The committee’s
decision is final.
