LOGISTIC / ADMINISTRATIVE

• Should I reserve two hotels, one in Girona and one in Barcelona? >> It's not needed, since the congress will entirely develope in Barcelona after the first day. The opening session in Girona will take some hours (institutional salutations, opening lecture and cocktail, visit in the center) and a bus will be available to go from Barcelona to Girona, in the morning, and from Girona to Barcelona, in the evening.

• How can I go to Girona from Barcelona? >> The congress will provide a bus shuttle service from the station of Sants. However, Girona is quite easy to reach from Barcelona: by train (between 40 and 80 minutes depending on the chosen train service), by bus (50 minutes) and by car (between 45 and 60 minutes depending on traffic). Girona itself has an international airport with direct connection to many European cities.

• Will the visits have a cost? >> All the visits that we are including in the program are for free.

• When should I pay the inscription? >> The form for inscription is be available from June 20th and until October 31th.

• If we are more than one author, shall all the authors pay the inscription? >> At least one inscription has to be paid for each paper, regardless of the number of authors. Please notice that if a co-author participates in presence, he/she must pay the correspondent fee: the request of at least one payment for papers with multiple authors applies exclusively in case only one author participates to the congress. (e.g., if a paper has three authors and only one participates in presence, only one fee will be requestested. If two of the authors will participate, then they will have to pay, while the one not coming will be exempted).

• Will I receive a certificate of attendance? >> Yes, it will be available after the end of the congress.

• Can I participate and receive a certificate of attendance even if I don't submit a paper? >> Yes, the fee for auditor allows to fully participate to the congress but he/she will not be present in the proceedings.

ACADEMIC

• What will be the language of the congress? >> English. An automatic translation to both Spanish and Italian will be provided. Please note that we recommend to prepare your presentations in English. However, in case the person presenting the paper does not speak English at all, an automatic translation to English will also be provided for those presenting in Spanish, Italian, Catalan, French or Portuguese.

• THE PEER REVIEW PROCESS SEEMS TO BE LATE, WHAT HAPPENS? >> Due to the considerable number of manuscripts received, the peer review process is taking longer than anticipated (we write on July 22nd). This is because the opportunity to publish with SCOPUS indexing arose after the call for papers was opened, so the review is also taking a little longer than expected, given that some articles were submitted in a format that complied with the initially announced guidelines. We apologize for this delay, but (as mentioned in our newsletter #5) each author will have up to a couple of weeks to make the suggested revisions once we receive the review results.
