Conferences - call for papers

This section is intended to help you find information on submitting abstracts and papers for conference presentation, a key part of disseminating your work. The information is based chronologically on closing date for papers rather than when the actual conference takes place. This means that the closer to the top, the nearer the deadline. As many people are equally interested in where the conference is taking place, this has been highlighted for quick reference. If you would like to include details of a conference here, please read the following guidance for inclusion.
