The 33rd NOFOMA annual conference that was planned to be held in Reykjavik, Iceland will go on-line 28 -30 September 2021. Despite the fact that the situation in Iceland has become quite good there are still travel and accommodation restrictions as well as barriers for some nationalities to travel and for that reason the NOFOMA 2021 conference, as so many others, will be a virtual one.
Despite virtual conference, things will remain the same including:
– a double blind review process and conference proccedings
– an invitation to the IJPDLM Special Issue
– presentations will be made, however shorter and a topic discussion will be arranged linked to the topics and papers in each session
– nominations for overall best paper and best doctoral paper
– sessions working as a full scale Doctoral Day with a theme as before
– sessions on education issues substituting the Educators Day
The 2nd call for papers can be found here.
