Ways of participation |
|
1- Workshops and Meeting Points: Workshops are sessions in which you will be able to learn applied methodologies on occupational risk
prevention in order to use them in your everyday practice. Meeting Points are gatherings to discuss specific matters through a controlled debate.
2- Lectures: they will be given by international experts on the working areas of the Conference.
3- Papers: they have to be an original piece of work related to the Conference areas. The abstracts of the papers will be assessed by the
Scientific committee. If they are accepted, their authors will be able to submit the full papers, which will be published, after a last assessment,
on the conference proceedings (provided registration and payment of the conference fees are previously made).
4- Posters: To widen the audience of the submitted abstracts, it will be possible to present them as posters (provided the Technical
secretariat informed about it well in advance, as the available space for posters at the Conference venue is limited). Posters will measure no more
than 1.2 x 0.9 metres. They have to summarize, in a didactic way, the main aspects of the research done. Posters should not be sent to the
secretariat: they will be displayed by their authors during the Conference days. If authors wish to include their posters in the Conference
proceedings, they will have either to choose to present their abstract or to make a full paper about them.

Abstract and keywords
- The abstract should have about 100 words. The full paper should begin with the abstract. Please remember that your abstract summarizes
your work. You will thus briefly present the problem researched, the research method and the main results. Keywords are the set of words that will
best describe your work for indexing purposes.
Paragraphs and sections
- Paragraph titles shall be written in Verdana 10 points bold, with the first letter in uppercase.
- Subparagraph titles shall be written in Verdana 10 points italic, with the first letter in uppercase.
- Titles of each section shall be written in Verdana 10 points bold and uppercase; please do not number them.
- Spaces before each section must be in Verdana 20 points. Spaces between paragraphs should be in Verdana 10 points.
- All elements of the document (text and images) must fit within a 15 cm x 25.7 cm rectangle centred on an A4 sheet (21 cm x 29.7 cm):
- Upper margin: 2 cm
- Lower margin: 2 cm
- Left margin: 3 cm
- Right margin: 3 cm
- On the pages after the first one, please begin your text on the first line, taking care not to leave any empty space between the upper margin and the text. All the text should be justified between the right and left margins.
Content
- Please write for an international audience:
- Use a direct and easily understandable style.
- If you use specific technical concepts, please briefly explain them.
- Put the meaning of abbreviations when you first use them -for example “UK (United Kingdom)”
- Explain symbols when used, including the dating system. Remember that date writing changes from one country to
another. For example, "1-5-99" can mean May 1st or January 5th. Also, “$” refers both to US and Canadian dollars, etc.
- Insert your diagrams and drawings along the text, exactly where you refer to them. Put their title in Verdana 8
points. Please use as low-resolution drawings as possible.
Tables
- Use simple tables, and moderate their colours. Their written content should be in Verdana.
- If you insert a table from another document, be sure the data are not fully embedded (this would make your document exceed our storage space). Try to insert the table as an image.
Images and pictures
- Please use images with medium or low resolution (no more than 600 dpi or, better, 72 dpi). Use standard image formats such as JPEG, GIF, TIFF or BMP.
- Image size should always fit your text. If you find it absolutely necessary to add bigger images, please send them as independent files, using meaningful titles.
Remember that you can download the template for your paper
