Call for papers
We invite you to participate in the 11th hEART Symposium that will take place from September 6th until 8th 2023 in Zurich. On the 5th of September a Summer school is taking place.

Submission guidelines
Short papers of 2000-3000 words are invited for submission by 5th of March 2023. Submissions will be reviewed by members of the scientific committee. The short papers should clearly state the research goals, elaborate methods, and discuss the results to allow the scientific committee to assess their quality. Ongoing research is not preferred, as we are expecting a clear indication of the conclusions from the research. Only original contributions are considered for presentation at the conference.
A maximum of one presentation is allowed per person attending the conference. This means that an author can be a co-author in multiple papers, but is not allowed to present more than one paper. The final decision on whether a submission is accepted will be taken by the scientific committee.
Submission instructions
Submissions are to be written in English and should be submitted electronically using the Easychair portal.
All submissions must be relevant to the conference topics. Authors will be asked to select the themes from the topic list that suit best to their submission. This is to assist with the review process and the creation of the conference program itself.
Authors will be requested to submit a summary (max. 150 words) as well as a short paper (max. 3000 words). Please use the provided templates for Word or LaTeX.
Please upload your short paper as a Word or LaTeX document. After that, create a PDF and upload this as well. Your PDF and Word/LaTeX document should have exactly the same name. Please name your documents as followed: “last name_first name_hEART2023”.
