Chairs of special sessions are encouraged to actively recruit speakers for their sessions. In addition, in the open call for abstracts authors can indicate to be interested to contribute to a special session. Note that all contributions will be peer reviewed.

 

The submission deadline for special sessions is 28th February 2022.
