Contributions to Research Strand include presentation of scientific papers showcasing research outcomes, as well as conceptual and theoretical perspectives in all disciplinary areas in the field of assistive technology and accessibility.

All research strand initial submissions take the form of extended abstracts of 2-3 pages. A Research template can be downloaded from the conference website following the Research Contribution Template.

Submissions exceeding the required length or submitted in a different template will be desk rejected and not reviewed. 

Submissions will be uploaded on the Conference Content Management System.

During submission, the author(s) should indicate whether they are interested in publishing a Short Paper [the extended abstract (2-3 pages) revised following the reviewers comments] or a Full Paper [6-8 pages, extending the short paper submitted for review] – see publications options below. Additionally, authors will have the option to indicate a preferred STS. It is, however, noted that the final decision about the programme will be made by the Programme Committee.

All submissions to the research strand will be blind-reviewed by experts of the Scientific Committee.
