Themes of ISCHE 45 and Standing Working Groups
All submissions need to be directed to either one of the six topics of the conference theme or one of the four current Standing Working Groups. Standing Working Groups have limited sessions during the conference. Therefore, authors with submissions for Standing Working Groups are advised to additionally select a second choice referring to one of the topics of the conference theme. This way their submission can be redirected during the reviewing process.
Conference languages
ISCHE strives for multilingualism and welcomes presentations and submissions in the five conference languages (English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish). However, all authors who submit in other than English are requested to additionally submit an English language abstract which will be included in the book of abstracts.
