Yet, contributors working in the fields of Spanish and German studies can present their research in Spanish or German, respectively. We may also consider submissions from undergraduate students.
Proposals (250 words maximum) must be submitted using the appropriate form, available on the VocUM website. Anonymous peer evaluation of the proposals will be carried out by a scientific committee. The presentations must be 20 minutes long, followed by a 10 minute question and answer session.
