Selection criteria

All participants, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career researchers, are required to register for the workshop. Participants are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract for presentation at the workshop. Applicants who do not intend to present their work should instead provide a statement of interest (within 150 words) describing their motivation for attending the workshop.

As the number of participants is limited, applicants will be selected based on the scientific quality of the submitted abstract or statement of interest, and its relevance to the themes of the conference. Organisers will select abstracts for short talks based on scientific merit and suitability to the respective session themes. All remaining selected abstracts will be presented as a poster.

Abstract guidelines

The abstract should not exceed 200 words and must be relevant to the theme of the workshop. The abstract title should not exceed 25 words.
