Editorial requirements for publication in a post-conference volume

On receiving a positive review, papers read during the Conference will be published in a post-conference volume in Polish or English. Each of the articles will constitute a chapter of a thematic volume of the post-conference publication to be released on the Conference opening day. A chapter in a post-conference volume should be understood as a scientific study of a minimum of 0.5 sheets of a publishing sheet (i.e. 20,000 characters with spaces). The Editorial Board reserves the right to make language, graphic and layout corrections.

It is possible to have a few articles published for an additional fee of 100 PLN or 25 € each.
