DECHEMA FORUM

WE are LOOKing FORWARD for YOUR SUBMISSIONS BY 1 MARCH 2024 AT THE LATEST

The organising committee cordially invites you to submit abstracts for presentations and posters for the conference programme. We look forward to receiving your contributions from research institutions, universities and industry. Tandem presentations by developers and users are particularly welcome.

How to submit an abstract

1. Please use the Template to correctly format  your contribution (1-2 pages incl. figures, max. size 1 MB) and upload it as PDF file. The abstract should explicitly mention objectives, new results and conclusions or significance of the work.
2. Enter the author list (author and co-author/s) and affiliations in the same order as in your abstract.
3. DECHEMA will not make any adjustments regarding the author information. The information will be published as given, so please double-check.

SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT HERE

Please note that the paper submission tool is only available in German. The selection of the contributions will be based on the review of the abstracts by the scientific committee.

Accepted abstracts will be published for all conference participants in a book of abstracts (PDF file).

The congress language is English.

Please note: Registration fee cannot be waived for authors.
