Accepted proposals will be grouped according to affinity and thematic relevance in either plenary or simultaneous sessions of 3 presentations of 15 minutes each.

The languages of the Congress are Spanish, Portuguese, and English.

Abstracts for free papers and themed sessions should be sent by December 15, 2021 to: ims.varlac@gmail.com
