To ensure that it is possible to publish your paper in the proceedings it is essential that all authors strictly follow the guidelines and formatting instructions for both preparation and submission of all papers.

For EURAM 2025, the abstracts and full papers will be published in e-format and for the latter, accessible for registered delegates only.

The proceedings will carry the ISSN 2466-7498 and ISBN 978-2-9602195-7-9.

Each paper will be screened to ensure compliance with EURAM’s guidelines. Papers which do not match the EURAM requirements will be desk-rejected, and authors will not have the opportunity to submit an updated version.

Please read below instructions carefully prior to submitting and remember to select at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals your research addresses (UN SDGs):

1. Each paper can only be submitted to ONE track.
2. Submitted papers must not have been previously presented at a EURAM annual Conference (unless there are significant changes from the original presented proposal).
   Submitted papers must not have been published or accepted for publication before the EURAM annual Conference (neither in print nor online, in any form – online preprint, working paper, etc.).
3. To facilitate the blind review process, remove ALL authors identifying information (names, affiliations etc.), including acknowledgements from the text, and document/file properties (any submissions with author information will be automatically DELETED; author information and acknowledgements are to be included in the submission form).
4. The abstract should not exceed 400 words and should be included both in the PDF and the submission form.
5. Include 3 keywords in the submission form. A maximum of 6 keywords is allowed.
6. The entire paper (title page, abstract, main text, figures, tables, references, etc.) must be in ONE anonymised document created in PDF format.
7. The maximum length of the paper is 40 pages (including ALL tables, appendices and references). The minimum length of the paper is 10 pages.
8. Use Times New Roman 12-pitch font, double spaced, and 1-inch (2.5 cm) margin all around.
9. Number all the pages of the paper.
10. No changes in the paper title, abstract, authorship, track and actual paper can occur AFTER the submission deadline.
11. Check that the PDF File of your paper prints correctly and ensure that the file is virus-free. Submissions will be done on-line on the EURAM 2025 submission system (platform opens on 1st of December).
12. Only submissions in English shall be accepted for review.
13. In case of acceptance, the author or one of the co-authors should be available to present the paper at the conference. A presenting author* can only present one paper at the conference.
14. If you submit a paper, you agree to review at least two papers for EURAM 2025 in the track you have submitted your paper to.
15. * ONE PRESENTING AUTHOR = ONE PAPER
    Each individual is limited to one personal appearance on the programme as a presenting author. This policy precludes acceptance of papers for more than one presentation. In other words, an author can submit and present only one paper. However, a presenter can always be a non-presenting co-author on additional papers.

Statement about the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)

EURAM does not prohibit, in principle the use of generative AI to support research activities. The use of AI to generate ideas and /or research questions, to analyse data, to support writing or for any other purposes in a submission to EURAM should be transparently disclosed in the manuscript, preferably in the literature review and/or methods sections (it has to be visible for the reader and reviewers).

Authors using AI in any step of their research process are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of AI-generated materials. AI tools cannot be listed as an author of a paper. AI tools used should be listed in the bibliography indicating: Author of the AI programme, year of the programme version used (in brackets), Name of AI (in italics), Version, if applicable (in brackets), Publisher, if different from the author, URL, if applicable. Please refer to the example below:

Open AI (2024) ChatGPT 4o (version September 2024), https://chat.openai.com

Upon submission of the paper on EURAM’s platform, the corresponding author will have to fill in a self-declaration statement form to document whether AI tools have been used or not. If AI tools have been used, the corresponding author will then specify in which of the different steps of the research process they were used:

• Conceptualization and literature review
• Design of research and (field) research protocol
• Data collection, field research activities
• Resources and analysis tools
• Data curation, data analysis, formal analysis
• Use of software for data analysis
• Discussion of research results
• Analysis of potential for replication/ reproducibility
• Preparation of draft article
• Review of draft versions of the article
• Generation of diagrams/ tables/ visualizations
• Research project management and project administration

and will disclose precisely the reasons for this use.
