Following a very large number of requests from those organising sessions and planning to submit papers to CODATA 2017 ‘Global Challenges and Data-Driven Science’, 8-13 October 2017, Saint-Petersburg, Russia, the conference organisers have agreed to extend the deadline for submissions to 28 July. In line with this, the deadline for ‘early-bird’ registration has been also extended to 28 July 2017.
To Submit Proposals for Sessions and Papers
To submit a proposal for a session or a paper at CODATA 2017, go to http://conference.codata.org/2017/submit/ (you will need to register to use the CODATA abstract submission site – this is not the same as registering fro the conference).
CODATA 2017 is running simultaneous proposals for sessions and papers. The deadline for both types of proposal is now 28 July 2017. Please consult the information on Submission Procedure at http://conference.codata.org/site/submission-procedure/
It is the responsibility of session organisers to ensure that the papers that comprise a proposed session are also submitted by the deadline of 28 July.
Papers may be proposed either 1) in relation to simultaneous proposal for a session; or, 2) independently of a session proposal in order to be assigned to an appropriate thematic session by the organisers.
