The Asociación Argentina de Carreteras invites institutions, professionals and investigators involved in the different aspects of road administration to submit their papers in the different areas foreseen for the XVI Argentina Congress on Road Administration and Traffic.

01. The deadline to submit paper abstracts is May 2nd, 2012.  Papers should be submitted by that date through the application that will soon be available on the Congress’ website. All the authors need to be pre-registered (payment of the registration fee is not required) before submitting papers.

02. Submitted papers have to be original and unpublished, i.e., papers that have not been published nor presented, at local or international level, at Congresses, Symposiums, Meetings, etc., and they may be prepared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 XVI Argentine Congress on Road Administration and Traffic.

03. 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.

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

05. Paper authors expressly authorize the Organizing Committee of the 16th Argentine Congress on Road Administration and Traffic to publish the papers submitted to the Congress in proprietary issues of the Asociación Argentina de Carreteras with no need for further consent.

06. 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 XVI Argentine Congress on Road Administration and Traffic.

07. 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.

08. 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.
