The 2027 conference will feature Keynote presentations by invited international experts as well as presentations of all accepted papers.

All papers submitted to the conference will be subjected to full peer-review by members of the Scientific Committee and Advisory Board. The accepted full-length papers will be published by Springer Nature and a printed book of abstracts will be provided to all conference delegates. Only original contributions will be considered for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will present their papers in an oral presentation during the conference.
