This is the 20th LABCI 2025 call for papers form.
General guidelines
All proposals will have three parts: a 10-word title, a 50-word abstract, and a 300-500 word session description.
The title and abstract will appear in the Conference programme, but the session description will only be read by the reviewers.
The abstract cannot contain references to the presenter(s) published works or reveal the presenter(s) name(s).
All parts of your proposal should be carefully written and proofread.
Although the proposals should respond to the themes of the Conference, we are open to receive and evaluate proposals on other topics.
The Selecting Committee will not accept proposals which promote or sell products or services of the speakers or others.
All presentations must have a length of 45 minutes. We recommend you leave 10 minutes for questions if the presentation is not interactive.
Closing date for proposals is the 3rd of March, 2025.
Acceptance of proposals will be announced by LABCI Paraguay in May, 2025.
All presenters whose proposals are accepted will have to register and pay for the conference fee.
