Guidelines for abstract preparation

Abstracts should be written in Croatian or English. Abstracts in which the written text substantially deviates from the standards of the chosen language will not be considered for review.
Abstracts should be between 1800 and 2000 characters, not including the abstract title, author(s) and author(s) affiliation. Authors should indicate the type of presentation they are proposing (symposia, oral presentation, poster or round table discussion).

Abstracts of empirical work (oral and poster presentations) should include a clearly stated objective and / or research problem, methodology and a discussion of main findings, along with reference to their interpretation. 

Abstracts for a symposium must include:
- The title of the symposium
- The name of the leader of the symposium
- A description of the symposium and topics covered (250-300 words)
- The names of all participants in the symposium
All symposia must have a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 5 papers.
The abstracts of individual papers within the symposium should include the title of the symposium of which it is a part and should be written in accordance with the above-described guidelines for abstracts of oral and poster presentations.  

Abstracts for roundtable discussions must include a description of the discussion topics as well as the full name of the roundtable leader and all participants.

While we aim to provide an opportunity for as many authors to present their work as possible, the number of presentation spaces is limited. As such, an individual may be the first author on only one paper and additionally a co-author on a maximum of two further papers.

The deadline for the submission of proposals is the 15th of January, 2017. After this deadline, no further submissions will be accepted. The Program Committee will review all submitted abstracts. Decisions regarding acceptance will be sent to the corresponding author by the 15th of February, 2017. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Book of Abstracts before the opening of the conference. Only the abstracts of authors who have paid the registration fee by the 15th of March, 2017 will be scheduled for presentation and included in the Book of Abstracts.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to many requests, we have moved the deadline for proposal submission to 1st February 2017.

The duration of each individual oral presentation is limited to 15 minutes. Each oral presentation will be immediately followed by a 5-minute discussion. Roundtable discussions will be 60 minutes in duration, while symposia are allotted a time limit of 90 minutes. Posters should be 90cm x 120cm in dimension and will be exhibited during specified poster sessions. 

The presentation language is Croatian or English.
