Workshop
A self-organized seminar of 1-2 presentations is to be relevant to the overall conference theme to a minimum of two and a maximum of five of the conference sub-themes. Workshops are to be profoundly interactive with considerable participation and discussion from those attending and hence, few presentations.

If applying for a workshop, please submit an abstract of 250 words or less (to be pasted into the abstract field in EasyChair) including a description of the content, how it will be covered (didactic methods, etc.) and how many will be presenting. The description of the workshop including the number of speakers must be uploaded in a separate PDF file. The author field should include the name(s) of the chair(s) as well as all the presenters in the proposed workshop.
Symposium
A self-organized seminar of three to five papers on a shared topic is presented in the same session with relevance to the overall conference theme and linked to a minimum of two and a maximum of five of the conference sub-themes. If applying for a symposium, please submit an overall abstract of 250 words or less (to be pasted into the abstract field in EasyChair) describing the symposium focus and its importance, along with a PDF file containing abstracts of 250 words or less for each of the three to maximum in total five papers. Preference will be given to symposia that demonstrate cohesiveness.
