Submissions
How to make a submission
We are accepting submissions under the following three categories:
- Contributed Talk only
- Poster only
- Contributed Talk/poster
Abstracts for all submissions should be no longer than one page, including references. Abstracts should be uploaded as a PDF (Portable Document Format) prepared in A4 or letter size with at least 11 point font and using reasonable margins. Please note that only a small number of submissions will be selected for contributed talks. If the submission is based on a published paper, providing the arXiv or journal link is strongly encouraged to help the peer-review process.
Code of Conduct
The QEC Steering Committee and Local Organising Committee are committed to providing an inclusive and harassment-free conference experience. We ask that all participants follow these guidelines:
Behave professionally. Harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary comments or jokes are not appropriate. Harassment includes sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, sexual attention or innuendo, deliberate intimidation, stalking, and photography or recording of an individual without consent. It also includes offensive comments related to race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size or religion.
All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual or sexist language and imagery is not appropriate.
Be considerate and respectful to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees. Critique ideas rather than individuals.
Personal and Professional Conduct
All participants of activities and events related to the QEC Conference should:
- refrain from all forms of discrimination, harassment and victimisation;
- treat other members and members of the public with dignity, courtesy and respect; and
- give due credit to the contributions of others.
Breaching the code of conduct may lead to expulsion from the conference.
What to do if you witness or experience inappropriate conduct
Concerns and complaints should be directed to a Local Organising Committee (LOC) member. You can also email [email protected], anonymously if desired. This email account will be accessible only by the Chair of the LOC, will be treated confidentially, and will be responded to within 24 hours if contact details are supplied.
