Submission
The conference offers three types of submissions for participants: short abstracts, posters, and full papers.
To register for the conference, participants are required to submit brief abstracts of up to 500 words. This can be done by registering with the AST Consortium platform. Abstracts will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis, and the Conference Committee will ensure that the submission topic aligns with the conference's scope. The requirements are available in the "Resources for authors and participants" section of the conference website, and abstracts must meet the formatting requirements specified there.
Once an abstract is accepted, it is mandatory that at least one of the authors present it either in-person or virtually. Authors can submit multiple abstracts for review, but if more than one is accepted, each additional abstract will require an extra paper fee. Please note that the fee only applies to papers in which the author is presenting and not co-authoring.
We highly recommend submitting abstracts as early as possible, as this will give the Committee ample time to review and provide feedback. Additionally, authors can make necessary changes to their submissions if requested by the Committee.
By submitting an abstract, authors have the opportunity to present their research to a global audience, engage with peers, and receive valuable feedback. It is an excellent opportunity to showcase their work and contribute to the advancement of their field. All accepted abstracts will appear in the Conference Book of Abstracts. The authors are invited to submit a full paper for publication in the conference proceedings or edited volumes after the conference.

To register for the conference with a full paper, authors are required to submit a piece of original research that is not under consideration elsewhere. The full paper requirements are available in the "Resources for authors and participants" section of the conference website, and papers should meet the formatting requirements specified there.
To ensure the originality of the papers, all incoming papers will be checked for plagiarism. Additionally, all paper submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two independent scholars. This process guarantees that the papers presented at the conference are of the highest quality.
Authors will have an opportunity to submit a revised full paper after the conference, based on the feedback received during the discussions and interactions with other participants. This is an excellent opportunity to refine and improve the research work further.
Participating in the conference with a full paper submission provides authors with the chance to showcase their original research and receive valuable feedback from peers in their field. We encourage all authors to carefully read the submission requirements and take advantage of this excellent opportunity to present their research to a global audience.
