Evaluation and selection is done on the proposal and final version steps. During the proposal step, a selective evaluation is done with a low acceptation rate on a detailed outline of the proposed article (or directly on the final version if a final version is submitted as proposal). During the final version step, an evaluation with a high acceptation rate (high number of articles selected) is done on the final version of the accepted proposals.</description></item><item><title>Venue</title><link>https://2026.cesar-conference.org/venue/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://2026.cesar-conference.org/venue/</guid><description>The conference takes place at the Couvent des Jacobins.
