The Scientific Committee
The organizers of the Upperside World Congress have gone out of their way to prevent the Conference from becoming a pretext for simply promoting branded products and services.

To this end, the Scientific Committee carefully selects the most relevant and high-quality proposals submitted through the call for papers.

Upperside Conferences would like to sincerely thank the members of the Committee for their valuable contribution.
