All papers within a session will follow the same language track, ensuring consistency. Therefore, abstracts submitted in Spanish will be assigned to a Spanish-language session.

  • We welcome organized session submissions with only 3 presenters/papers. It will give the Paper Selection Committee the opportunity to add a fourth paper or presenter to your session from the paper-only submissions, particularly by young scholars.
