Introduction
Participants are invited to submit Papers to the Seminar.
Papers may follow the traditional format of academic papers or case studies, or they can be projects or reports that are deemed useful for the Church's communication offices and that deal with topics relevant to the theme of the Seminar.
An abstract, with a minimum length of 800 characters and a maximum of 1,500 (including spaces), must be received by March 19, 2023, by the Conference Secretariat. Submissions should be made exclusively through one's registration account.
The Secretariat will inform a few days after the proposal whether the abstract will be accepted.
Each communicator will have 25 minutes, which will be theoretically divided into 15 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions from the audience. If multimedia support (audio, video, etc.) is needed for the presentation, the Secretariat should be notified of it as soon as possible. Texts in Italian, English, French and Spanish are accepted.
