Publication Requirements

The accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the WUW – SVR2024. At least one of the authors must register in the symposium for the paper to be included in the proceedings. The accepted works must be presented during the workshop by the undergraduate (or recently graduate) student. This year, it will also be possible to present the work remotely. Authors will be requested to disclose the presentation format during the submission. Papers that will be presented locally in the event will have priority over remote ones. Papers that will be presented remotely will not have access to the mentoring session and will not be considered for awards. More information about this will be disclosed closer to the event.

Presentation

Presentations will be given orally by the authors and will be followed by a mentoring session with experts, for those that are not presented remotely. More details will be given to presenters after acceptance as well as in the program to be added to the official website of the symposium. 

Awards

Up to three papers will be awarded in the workshop. For award purposes, the quality of the oral presentation will also be evaluated. Papers accepted and not presented in the WUW – SVR2024 will not compete for awards and will be removed from the proceedings.
