Abstracts must be submitted following a standardized format and should include the following elements: title, author names, institutional affiliations, a brief background or context of the research, objectives of the study, methodology, key results, main conclusions, and a list of relevant keywords. This concise summary should provide reviewers with a clear overview of the research, its scientific contribution, and its potential impact in the field.

Full papers must be submitted in digital format (PDF) through the paper submission page. Papers must be written in English or Spanish. The maximum length is six (6) pages per article including illustrations and references. Each paper should indicate appropriateness for the scope of the Conference, originality and quality of the technical content, whole organization and writing style.

Assessment

Oral presentations, as well as manuscripts, will be thoroughly evaluated by distinguished faculty researchers and experts in the field, all of whom are active members of RELIEVE, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the work's scientific merit and contribution.

Both the manuscripts and the oral presentations will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• For the paper: clarity and structure, originality and contribution to the field, literature review, methodology, analysis, results, and conclusions.
• For the oral presentation: clarity of communication, the ability to engage the audience, organization of content, visual aids (e.g., slides), the speaker's ability to effectively address questions from the audience, as well as the preliminary evaluation of the contribution, impact, and potential for publication of the work.

Committees

Organizers

• RELIEVE is the Latin American Research Network on Energy and Vehicles (RELIEVE), included since 2020 to the Ibero-American Program of Science and Technology for Development (CYTED). RELIEVE's objective is to contribute to the generation and strengthening of capacities in LATAM to provide technical support and follow up to local governments and companies in smart mobility issues. As a strategy to achieve this objective, RELIEVE seeks to strengthen the collaboration between universities, companies and government entities through the development of joint research projects, scientific dissemination and training of human talent in the field of smart mobility. RELIEVE understands Smart Mobility as the use of information technologies to reorganize the mobility of people and goods in a sustainable way (economically, socially, environmentally).
