Dear Colleague,
I would like to invite you to present a paper at the 2nd Conference on Quality Innovation and Sustainability - ICQIS 2020, on November 19th-20th, 2020.
Attendance at the conference will offer an excellent opportunity to disseminate the results of projects and research; to stimulate concepts or ideas; and to launch synergistic research collaborations for the future. Global experts will give plenary lectures and lead discussion on the following key topics: Quality, Innovation, and Sustainability.
The conference will bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars in the field of interest from around the world. ICQIS 2020 will be held online (virtual conference) due to the pandemic situation (outbreak of the corona virus) and the need for security of our participants.
Participation in the conference can take place though: 1) presentation of the works through a pre-recorded video or online presentation in ppt/pdf with audio; 2) presentation at poster sessions. So, when submitting the abstract, authors must indicate whether they wish to make an oral presentation or participate in poster sessions.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The conference will include:
- Plenary lectures
- Oral presentations
- Posters
For all categories above, authors should submit an Abstract (1 page). Optionally, authors can later submit an Extended Abstract (4 pages) that includes further details about their work. Authors can also choose to submit a poster for the poster's session.
Authors are also encouraged to submit a full conference paper of 8-12 pages. Reviewed and accepted conference papers will be published in special issues of Sustainability (provided they meet the journals standard) after the conference.
