**************************************************************

Dear Colleague,

BIODEVICES welcomes the submission of position papers.
A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topics. 
The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper".
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support.

Don't hesitate contacting me should you have any questions.


Best regards,
Marina Carvalho
