Anyone wishing to present or publish a presented paper must register for the conference and submit an abstract(s). Abstracts and full-length papers (in case of peer-reviewed publication) should be emailed to hello@greeninstitute.ng with the MS Word file name format "ICELGSD2024_Peterson_Abstract" or "ICELGSD2024_Peterson_Fullpaper", where "Peterson" represents the corresponding author's surname and "ICELGSD2024" stands for the conference code.
