It is recommended that abstracts are written in the language that the paper will focus on: English, German, Spanish, Italian, French or Slovene. The working languages of the conference are English, German, Spanish, Italian, French and Slovene.
- Abstract selection criteria
All abstracts will undergo a double-blind peer review, which will be based on: the originality of the topic and its relevance to the conference, the relationship between the title and the content, structural organisation, the theoretical or contextual relevance, and the clarity of claims. All abstracts must be proofread.
- Presentation policy
SDUTSJ firmly believes that conferences are an opportunity for professional exchange, constructive feedback, in-depth discussion, and connecting with colleagues who share similar interests. As a space for meaningful dialogue, each 15-minute presentation will be followed by a 5-minute discussion; therefore, papers should only be presented by the (co)authors themselves (non-author substitute presenters will not be allowed to present the papers). If possible, conference participants who will deliver their presentations in languages other than English are kindly asked to prepare handouts in English for the audience.
Submissions open: Oct. 1, 2025 - Dec. 5, 2025
