** Call for Short Papers:  International FinTech, InsurTech & Blockchain Forum**

** Submission Deadline:  October 15, 2019**

The "International FinTech, InsurTech and Blockchain Forum" invites short papers for submission. All submissions should be formatted as five-page extended abstracts (up to 4 pages for content and 1 page for literature).​ As we want to foster a diversity of innovative ideas from a broad variety of disciplines and research fields, submissions may refer to work that is recently published, is currently under review elsewhere, or in preparation, and may link to content of one publicly accessible paper. However, each submission will be evaluated solely on the submitted abstract, which must therefore comprise an entirely self-contained description of the work.
