Scientific Committee
All abstracts and extended abstracts (short proceedings papers) submitted to EMGN-25 will undergo an evaluation and selection process by the track chairs in collaboration with technical committee members.
Some tracks still require chairs, and anybody can apply to the EMGN-25 Scientific Committee. The prerequisites include a strong global network to promote the conference and a Scopus h-index greater than 15.
The track chairs listed below will have first priority as editors of the EMGN-25 proceedings (see Publications). The proceedings editors will be granted free admission to the conference.
If you meet the prerequisites and want to contribute scientifically to the conference, please send an email with the subject line "EMGN Chair" to [email protected].
