Consent to publish: by submitting an abstract you give consent for publication on the conference materials, including but not limited to, the conference website, conference handbook, email promotions, etc. Furthermore, you give permission to publish the e-mail address of the main author in the conference handbook.

The evaluation of the abstracts will be done by anonymous members of SSPCR 2025 Scientific Committee.

The abstracts will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

• Potential interest to conference audience

• Novelty of the research / project / topic

• Appropriateness of methodology

• Final suggestions on how to translate research findings / demo cases into planning policies and tools

Within the evaluation process, the Scientific Committee may change the thematic track of the abstract and invite the author(s) to present it in a different form (e.g. poster instead of oral presentation). You will be informed on the result of the evaluation process via e-mail by early September.

Once the abstract is uploaded, it cannot be modified. Only submitters will be able to view, download, and check the submission status of their abstract.

Account credentials will be sent via email upon submission of the abstract. Please note that the submission must be completed in order for the system to automatically generate an account. The credentials will be included in the submission confirmation email and therefore will not be available prior to submission.

Please note that a full paper submission is not requested to present at SSPCR 2025.
