The number of participants is limited to 12. Travel expenses will be covered, accommodations and full board will be provided. An expense allowance equivalent to €300 per participant will be allotted after submission of a print-ready paper.

Interested junior scientists/researchers are invited to apply with their abstracts (400-600 words) with a short academic CV until 06th April 2023 to [email protected]
