Types of participation in person (“on-site”)

​

During the symposium, you can use the following types of participation in person ("on-site"): 

 

• Regular (Oral presentation)   

• Poster (Demonstration of the poster)

• Workshop

• Attending only (Listener)

 

If you choose the type of participation as an oral presentation, you will be given 20 minutes (15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion). For oral presentation, you must have Power Point presentation version on the USB Flash support. In order to avoid technical problems, you can send your presentation by email iris.latvia@gmail.com a week before the symposium takes place. All rooms for oral presentations will be equipped with the necessary technical equipment - computer (laptop) and a screen for Power Point presentations.  

 

If your participation is a demonstration of the poster (Poster Section), please prepare a poster, which will reflect the main results of your research. The size of the poster should not exceed 70 x 90 cm (the optimal size of poster is 70 cm in length and 90 cm in height). During the poster section you need to be near your poster and discuss the problems of the research work with someone who might be interested. You also need to have a few samples of your research work, so you can transfer them to the participants of the symposium who are interested in your research.

​

Participation in a workshop provides association of participants in groups (not less than 5 people) for discussion of a certain subject (problem) chosen by participants. The group of participants can organize a workshop in English, Russian or Latvian, and also in any other language which is accepted and understood by all participants of group (for example, in German, Polish, Turkish, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese or other languages). You elect the head of your group, a form of discussion and give us the title of your topic and names of participants. For participation in a workshop it is also necessary to send abstract in English. During the workshop participants exchange experience, discuss the existing problems in their sphere, suggest (offer) their solutions of problems and get from each other a practical advice and recommendations in an informal situation. 

​

If you are just a listener (attending only), you will have the opportunity to visit the plenary session and all working sessions, as well as take part in debates and discussions of topical issues. All listeners will receive a full package of symposium materials and certificate of attendance.

 

Participants of oral presentation, poster session or workshop will be issued a certificate confirming the presentation of your research at an international symposium.
 
If you wish to participate in a symposium with oral presentation or with a demonstration of the poster (poster section) or workshop, but do not want to publish your article in the proceedings of the scientific symposium, you have to send only your abstract in English. In this case, you will have opportunity to submit your paper to a scientific journal until September 1, 2024.

  

You can submit papers (articles) to Symposium Proceedings in English, Russian and Latvian. Your presentation also may be available in English, Russian or Latvian.

All abstracts must be written in English.
