## Call for Contributions [Top]
Participants are invited to submit extended abstracts (maximum 2 pages in length, excluding references). We encourage both position papers as well general sim2real submissions.
Accepted abstracts will receive a poster presentation slot and selected submissions will additionally be allowed to give a spotlight presentation for 5min each, ahead of the debate that's most in line with the subject.
Submissions must be in PDF format following the [IEEE style](https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Submissions must include a short abstract. The extended abstract should go in the main section of the template and the short abstract in the abstract section.
