Call for Paper
The 7th Collaborative European Research Conference (CERC 2021)
Munster Technological University, Cork, Ireland
September 9-10, 2021
The multidisciplinary Collaborative European Research Conference (CERC) is an annual event that takes place since 2011 when it was initiated by University partners across Europe. It brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines in order to foster knowledge transfer, interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration.
We invite researchers to submit extended abstracts or full papers and to attend the conference. We especially welcome early stage researchers to present new research topics.
To support the range of options, and flexibility needed in the current situation, we will offer a blended conference experience. You do not need to commit either to a place-based or virtual presentation at the time of submission.
We invite the submission of long and short papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of computer science, biology, bioinformatics, business information systems, marketing, IT-security, civil engineering, education, psychology, multimedia, art, etc. Contributing authors came from Ireland, Germany, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Norway, France, USA, UAE, etc. Accepted contributions will be published in digital proceedings with an ISSN number – it is intended that publications shall be submitted to CEUR-WS for online publication, indexed among other at DBLP, Scopus, Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar. A prize for the best paper will be awarded during the conference closing on September 10, 2021.
Extended versions of the best papers may be published into an upcoming special issues of “Sensors” (ISSN 1424-8220, Impact Factor: 3.275) and “Methods and Protocols” (ISSN 2409-9279; CODEN: MPERC6) Journals.
CERC 2021 has the goal of a broad research program. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- eHealth
