The Organizing Committee invites anyone who wish to present a paper to submit an abstract in English by March 21, 2010 through our online submission form.

   Submitting a Paper
   The abstract should be about 150-200 words. All fields of specialization within public administration, social sciences, humanities and economics will be taken into consideration. You will receive a notification by e-mail once your paper is accepted (or rejected). By submitting an abstract, you also agree to contribute to the discussions and/or to their session Chair and Discussants within your area of specialization. The web form provides an opportunity to identify your areas of specialization. A participant may not present more than two papers. Consequently, you cannot register more than two papers for presentation unless a third paper is presented by a co-author who also is registered to participate in the conference.
After a reviewing process, the authors will received an e-mail with the decision of the Scientific Committee regarding the acceptance or the rejection of the paper.

   The final paper will be sent by April 10, 2010 at the e-mail: conference.flss@utgjiu.ro
Paper/hard copy submissions will not be accepted. In all cases, presenters are required to provide to their session chair and discussant a copy of their paper (preferably electronically) at least 2 weeks prior to the conference.

   Please note that in order to attend or present a paper, you must register for the conference. Registration is made online through the conference website.

   Presenting a Paper
Paper sessions will consist of three to four presentations in a 60 minutes session divided equally among the presenters.
The equipment available for the presentations will be:
- Laptop Computer (Please see notes below regarding the laptops) *
- LCD Data Projector (with screen)

* The laptops will accept CD-ROMs, and USB “Flash” drives.  However, they ARE NOT equipped with floppy disk drives.  If you have your presentation on a floppy disk, please visit the registration desk and we will transfer the files into a CD-ROM or USB Flash Drive.  Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel are installed on each laptop for your convenience.  We will not be able to install any special software that your presentation may require.  However, if you have brought your own laptop, you may use it instead of the one that is provided.
