Invitation

Submit Your Research

Global Perspectives: Multidisciplinary Approach to the Contemporary Cross-Cultural Challenges invites original research contributions and case studies on all aspects of culture and global issues. We seek innovative work that bridges disciplines and connects theory with practice. Every abstract nominates one of the six programme sessions.

Abstracts are written in British English on the official conference template, which sets out ten short numbered passages — context, problem, gap, aim, novelty, method, data, findings, conclusion and contribution — adding up to 300–500 words. They will be reviewed by an international committee. Accepted authors will be invited to present (in person or virtually) and to submit full papers (5,000–7,000 words) for publication. Full papers undergo a second review and, if accepted, are included in the conference proceedings and considered for journal publication.

A selection of full papers will be invited to a Research Topic in a peer-reviewed journal indexed in Web of Science, on that journal's own terms. Participation without a paper (as observer or poster presenter) is also welcome.

Every abstract nominates one of the six programme sessions. Abstracts are submitted by e-mail to gpconf@mef.edu.rs.
