Research in progress papers

The Bled Forum invites submissions as short papers with possibly associated posters on topics related to the conference’s main theme and special interest themes. Forum papers can present research in progress and should be original and innovative, and not longer than 6 pages (reference list excluded).

Through short presentations possibly enhanced with posters delegates will be able to show their accepted (preliminary) research and receive feedback in an interactive way. Posters will be displayed during the conference.  Accepted forum papers will appear in a special section of the conference proceedings.
