II Congreso Ibero-Americano de Seguridad Vial

The National Road Safety Agency of Argentina, the Argentine Road Association, and the Ibero-American Road Institute invite institutions, professionals, researchers, and companies engaged in road safety from the different Ibero-American countries to submit papers related to the Congress topics.

Submitted papers have to be original and unpublished, i.e., papers that have not been published nor presented, at local or international level, at Congresses, Symposiums, Meetings, etc., and they may be prepared up to the opening date of the Ibero-American Road Safety Congress.

As an exception, the Organizing Committee may accept, at its own discretion, already published papers containing new relevant information and which are considered of significant interest.

Submitted materials should be papers and may include reports, communications, studies, experiences or work recommendations.

Paper authors expressly authorize the Organizing Committee of the II CISEV to publish the papers submitted to the Congress in proprietary issues of the Asociación Argentina de Carreteras [Argentine Road Associations] or the Instituto Vial Iberoamericano [Ibero-American Road Institute] with no need for further consent.

Papers submitted to the Congress may only be reproduced, either in part or in whole, by the authors with the explicit mention that they have been submitted to the II Congreso Ibero-Americano de Seguridad Vial [Ibero-American Road Safety Congress].

It is hereby established that the submission of a paper implies that its author or authors have completely agreed to the aforementioned terms and conditions without further ado.

The Organizing Committee, through its Technical Committee, will assess the papers to check compliance with each of the above requirements, as well as their content to proceed with the relevant selection process. Failure to comply with the submission terms and deadlines will be enough grounds for rejection with no need for further notice.

The Technical Coordination will notify abstract acceptance no later than June 22, 2010.

The Technical Coordination reserves the right to reject abstracts if they fail to comply with the above requirements.

Papers whose abstracts have been accepted should be sent no later than August 20, 2010.

Once the papers have been accepted, the Organizing Committee will select and assign them to the corresponding sessions of the Specific Areas, where they will be presented and discussed. This decision will be duly communicated to the paper author(s). It is an essential requirement that authors whose papers have been selected for presentation in the Specific Areas be registered in the Congress by September 20, 2010.

The Organizing Committee may, at its own discretion, modify the conditions or waive those conditions hereby established when the reasons justify such waivers.

All accepted papers will be published in a CD to be delivered to every participant during the Congress.
