1. Eligibility: The conference is open to the current and graduated students of LNU at all levels of study (undergraduate and postgraduate). A student’s work (essay or thesis) can be co-authored with other students and/or academic supervisor, provided that the students present their works. The presentation can be done physically or virtually.
2. Submission: To participate, a student should submit a copy of their thesis or other kinds of student works in the original form. However, if any student or a group of students wants to publish their work in the conference proceedings, he/she/they should prepare a special paper (minimum 6 pages and maximum 10 pages). All the submissions should be done via Easychair submission system by August 12, 2021. These special papers will be reviewed by the peers.
3. Reviewing: The special papers submitted for publications will undergo a single-blind peer review (the reviewers’ names will not be disclosed to the authors) by two to three peers. Each author is supposed to review at least one paper of another author.
