Researchers are invited to submit abstracts for the 8th Annual ALTER Conference before 01 February 2019.

We particularly encourage comparative, interdisciplinary and international sessions. Researchers wishing to suggest a session are invited to submit both an individual abstract of their paper and an abstract describing the joint session and its participants. Researchers wishing to suggest a session are invited to submit both an individual abstract of their paper and an abstract describing the joint session and its participants. It is necessary for every member of the session to submit their own individual abstract in addition to a single joint abstract for evaluation and registration purposes. This requires each member to create a sciencesconf account and upload their abstract individually i.e. one author is not allowed to submit an abstract on behalf of a team member.
