Papers and Posters will undergo a blind review by three members of the review committee. Roundtables will be reviewed by the organisation committee. The criteria will involve quality, originality, impact and innovativeness. In case of conflicts an additional review will be organised to reach consensus. Presentations will be selected only based on ratings of quality, originality, impact and innovativeness.
