The Committee may change an Abstract to a topic or theme session of the program that they found more appropriate.

All Abstracts will be published on the conference website and in a Book of Abstracts.

TALKS

Oral presentation should present scientific work and be no longer than 12 minutes plus 3 minutes for questions and comments. They will be grouped into sessions according to content.

Abstracts for Free papers should contain: Title (max. 150 characters with spaces); Authors (name, affiliation); Abstract (maximum 250 words); The investigation’s Objective; Method; Results and Conclusions. Keywords (max. 5).

The key is to show what inspired the research and what its purpose is. It is also important to draw conclusions from the results to ask whether they reflect the paradigm of ideas that we had from the outset.

To encourage the quality of presentations, the best presentation for the audience will be awarded by the “Best Communicator Award”.

WORKSHOPS

Will last 50 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions and comments. We encourage presenters to submit practical workshops. The focus of your workshop should be on a real-time demonstration of your techniques using the audience members, singers, actors, or patients provided. This is not a lecture format.

Please describe in the Abstract what the participants will see or hear, and in what way they will be involved. If the abstract submission does not explain how the majority of the time will be hands on, then it will likely not be under consideration.

To encourage the quality of workshops, lectures, voice in motion will be awarded by the “Best Communicator Award”.
