General Policies and Requirements for the submission of abstracts

All abstracts must be original work. Presenting authors of accepted abstracts will be required to register for the conference in order to secure that their abstract is included in the supplement to the conference proceedings. Abstracts will not be peer-reviewed but the Scientific Committee reserves the right to accept or reject abstracts. Each corresponding author (the author that submits the abstract, will attend the congress to present the paper and is responsible for communicating with the Congress Organizers and the paper’s co-authors) is limited to two submissions for the congress.  

Submitted abstracts must contain unpublished material. When transmitting their abstract, authors of accepted abstracts are considered to have read and accepted the copyright policy.

You can submit an abstract to one of the following themes. Please select your theme and click on SUBMIT ABSTRACT. You will be directed to EDAS. Please log-in to EDAS and select the track to which your abstract suits. Please note that your abstract can be submitted only to one Theme/Track.

For assistance please contact Miss Hatice Altintas on  hatice.altintas@vde.com or +49 69 6308 -477.
