About GRID24 symposium
The 12th professional and scientific GRID24 symposium aims to continue and improve the exchange of expertise among scientific workers, researchers, experts and professionals who work in the graphic industry in Serbia and abroad. GRID24 international symposium will take place on November 14-16, 2024 in Novi Sad, Serbia. Symposium will be hosted and organized by the Department of Graphic Engineering and Design // University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences. It is being organised every two years as an international symposium, with the objective of connecting researchers from industry and institutions related to the field of graphic engineering and design through presentation of research results to scientific and professional community.
The twelfth GRID conference will continue its successful practice and be held as a combined conference. In addition to on-site participation, we are offering the opportunity for online presentation to all participants who may not be able to attend the event in person. Our aim is to support inclusivity and diversity by providing access to the symposium for a broader audience without geographical limitations. The poster section will also be organized in both live and digital formats.
Program and peer review committee of the symposium consists of eminent scientists from Serbia and abroad. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in English and it has been indexed in SCOPUS base since 2018.
It is important to emphasise that this year, authors will be able to choose the Journal-first option. Journal-first is a submission option for authors who wish to have their papers published in the Journal of Graphic Engineering and Design (JGED), decision about acceptance will be delivered after reviewing the received papers. JGED scientific journal is indexed in the SCOPUS database, as well.
Papers accepted for publication in the JGED will not be published in the proceedings of the symposium, but can be presented.
We are looking forward to your participation in the GRID24 symposium.
