Participants can only send one contribution as first authors, but they can appear as second authors of other contributions. Abstracts must be submitted through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sine-2017). Any request of information should be sent to convegno@societadineuroetica.it. Abstracts must be ready for blind review and should not exceed 300 words, plus 10 references records, which will not be considered in the words count. Abstracts can be written either in Italian or in English, according to the language chosen for the paper. However, since the audience is often international, we encourage submissions in English.
