Call for Submissions


Selection for presentations at TRISTAN XII is based on the submission of extended abstracts of research. Authors are welcome to submit more than one abstract. However, each registered participant is allowed to present at most one paper during the conference.

All submissions must be electronically submitted through the EasyChair conference manuscript management system. https://easychair.org/cfp/TRISTAN2025
