The Call for Abstracts is now closed and has been very successful with over one hundred high quality abstracts submitted and assessed on a double-blind review basis. We sincerely thank those of you who have submitted for the time and effort it took and appreciate your interest in our conference. The conference scientific committee and the reviewers focused on scientific quality, relevance to the conference theme and innovative research approaches, which resulted in a selection of highly relevant proposals of excellent quality.

The event will focus on three subtopics that correspond to the tracks of the Call for Papers:

The programme will consist of keynotes, parallel sessions with paper presentations and interactive formats.
Selected papers will be published in the international bi-monthly Foresight journal by Emerald Publishing.
