conference proceedings

On June 28th, access to the Submissions Repository (or, if you prefer, the Conference Proceedings) has been enabled for all registered participants.

This resource allows you to search, browse and explore all submitted abstracts and papers. Access to video-recordings of plenary sessions, as well as pdf copies of delivered presentations, will also be made available at this platform.

During the week of the Conference, only registered participants can access the platform, using the email address registered with the conference.

You must create a password upon first login (for your convenience, it may match your Conference Participant account password, but must be re-entered due to privacy regulations).

SUBMISSION OF PRESENTATION FILE

UPDATE (14th June 2024): The online platform that presenting authors may use to upload their presentations has just been launched, and will remain open until the 25th of June 2024. We urge authors to use this facility so as to avoid congestion at the Slides Centre during the week of the Conference. We note also the following:

·      Only presenting authors can access the platform, using the email address registered with the conference.

·      You must create a password upon first login by clicking on “Forgot password? Click here” (for your convenience, it may match your Conference Participant account password, but must be re-entered due to privacy regulations).

·      We encourage the use of multiple-slide presentations for both Stage presentations (delivered in a room to seated attendees), as well as Monitor presentations (presented in the ‘virtual walkway’ to standing attendees).

·      While we provide, for convenience, a simple optional template, you are welcome to use your organisation’s template, provided it follows the 16:9 format.

·      If your presentation includes videos or animations, please visit the Slides Centre during the conference to ensure compatibility with our systems. Note: Personal laptops cannot be used for Plenary or Technical Session presentations.

 

 

In the first half of June, we will be providing here the necessary instructions on where and how to upload the presentations; this will be announced through a newsletter sent to all conference participants.
For what concerns a possible presentation template, this is not something that we wish to impose, given that many authors need to use the templates provided by their own organisations, which have their own branding/communication rules and guidelines. Nonetheless, for those that will be so interested, we have prepared this simple template.

REGISTRATION of submissions – closed

UPDATE (21st May 2024): The possibility of (very late) registration of submissions is now closed, given that we need to urgently finalise the scientific programme of the conference. The conference participant platform (see green button below) will remain open only for registration of participants (not submissions), acquisition of Party and La Scala tickets, as well as the enrolment in the Technical Visits.

UPDATE (16th May 2024): A first draft of the WCEE2024 scientific programme has been released, and may be accessed from the Conference Programme webpage. In the next two or three weeks, we expect Convenors to continue to iterate and finetune the schedule of their sessions, with the objective of reaching a finalised version within the first week of June 2024.

UPDATE (29th February 2024): The review and revision of the submissions made to the different technical sessions is now essentially completed, and we are proceeding with the definition of the conference programme. Whilst resubmission of revised papers is thus no longer possible, the conference participant platform (see green button below) remains open, so as to allow late registrations, acquisition of Party and La Scala tickets, as well as enrollment in technical visits (these are to be activated soon).

UPDATE (31st January 2024): Early-bird registration is now closed; from this date onwards, only late registration is possible. The paper submission platform will instead remain open for a few more days, so as to accommodate for the late resubmission of revised papers.

The initial submission of papers phase has now been closed, but it naturally continues to be possible for participants to register in the conference and also for authors to revise their submission (if so requested by the technical session convenors).

PRE-REGISTRATION AND PAPER SUBMISSION – NOW CLOSED

UPDATE (4th December 2023): Paper submission is now closed, and the Technical Session Convenors will now initiate their review and evaluation process, which is expected to be concluded before the 31st of January, so that authors may have the time to then revise and resubmit their submissions, if so requested by the Convenors.

UPDATE (31th October 2023): Pre-registration is now closed; from this date onwards, only full registration is possible. The paper submission platform, however, will remain open for a few more days, to accommodate late submissions.

The paper submission platform is now open, and may be accessed through the link that you find below, just after this text. We note also the following:

  • In order to be able to submit a technical/scientific contribution for presentation at the upcoming WCEE2024, you will need to first carry out the pre-registration, using one of the different payment methods available at the submission platform.
  • Technical/scientific contributions will typically come in the form of a conference paper, to be prepared according to the conference template (Doc file, Pdf file), and which will then be included in the conference proceedings and indexed in publication databases.
  • As had been already anticipated in the FAQs, your contribution may also consist of simply an abstract, if so agreed to and accepted by the convenor of the session. These will not, however, be included in the conference proceedings.
  • In the paper submission platform, it will be possible to introduce potentially needed updates or corrections to the title, abstract, authors and technical session that had been indicated in the initial abstract submission.
  • It will be possible for you to submit the paper, or update info and material already submitted, up until the date of 15th of October 2023 31st of October 2023.
  • Please do undertake the pre-registration payment well in advance of the above deadline, especially if you chose to carry out the payment through bank transfer, which can take several days to complete.

ABSTRACTS SUBMISSION – NOW CLOSED

UPDATE (4th August 2023): With the opening of the paper submission phase, the ‘Submit your Abstract’ platform has been deactivated. On an exceptional basis, however, and with the agreement of a convenor, last-minute abstract submissions may still be carried out through the paper submission platform indicated above.

UPDATE (5th June 2023): Abstracts submission is now closed, and the ‘Submit your Abstract’ button that you still find active after the technical sessions listing below serves only the purpose of allowing authors to (i) access the evaluation/comments that convenors produced for each submission, and (ii) resubmit the abstract to a different technical session (when so requested by a convenor).

UPDATE (1st June 2023): Having not clarified upfront that the abstracts submission platform closing deadline referred to Central European Summer Time (CEST), something for which we obviously apologise, we have decided to reopen, for only a few extra days, the possibility of submitting abstracts. Do bear in mind, however, that such possibility will be closed in definitive fashion on June 4th at midnight CEST, in order to allow us to move on to the paper submission/pre-registration phase.

UPDATE (16th May 2023): We are delighted to report that, within the deadline of May 15th, we have received 3500+ abstracts authored by more than 5400 scholars from 110 different countries! The evaluation of the submitted abstracts will now start, a process that we expect to take around two weeks, during which the abstracts submission platform will necessarily remain open (to allow the submission of revised or missing abstracts).

The proposed Technical Sessions have been processed and published, and you may thus now identify those that are better suited to the abstract(s) that you would like to submit to the attention and consideration of the corresponding convenors. If, however, you feel that your work does not fit within any of the currently defined technical sessions, you may still submit a contribution under the ‘Other topics’ category (which you will find in the abstracts submission platform). We note also that abstracts should not exceed 2500 characters, spaces included. To access the submission platform, you should click on the ‘SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT’ button that you find after the technical sessions listing, below.

You will notice that some of the proposed sessions seem to feature already a significant number of invited speakers. However, this should not necessarily discourage you from submitting an abstract to such sessions, given that, as discussed in the FAQs, the final length and format of each Technical Session will only be defined once its number of registered contributors will be clear. In addition, and always as underlined already in the FAQs, we will endeavour to make sure that the posters discussion part of each Technical Session will be, if not more, at least as enticing and engaging as its oral presentations counterpart.

You will also notice that the technical aim and foreseen contents of some of the proposed sessions appear to overlap slightly, in which case they could potentially have been merged together. You might also feel that some sessions do not currently feature the type of representativeness or diversity that you would expect. We have, however, decided to consider such potential issues only once the number of registered contributors to each session will be known, given that we want it to be the community that guides the process of fine-tuning the scientific programme of the conference. Hence, for the time being, just feel free to submit your abstract to whatever Technical Session you feel better suits your work.
