AUTHORS INSTRUCTIONS
With the 4th edition of the conference it is also our ambition to strengthen the connection between the applied research with the industry. For this reason we decided to set 2 twin calls, for scientific contributions & for technical contributions, equally evaluated but specifically addressed to different bodies.
SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS
Addressed to: Universities, Academic Institutes, Research Centers, R&D Units, Control Authorities.
This CALL is dedicated to works characterized by a high scientific and innovative content, from an academic perspective.
These works should be defined by rigorous theoretical bases, a strong bibliographic background and a comprehensive presentation of the methodology adopted and the results obtained.
As an example, authors of works including a modelling activity and/or an experimental campaign are invited to apply for this type of call, in the form of an extended abstract.
TECHNICAL CONTRIBUTION
Addressed to: Industries, Consulting & Engineering Companies, Plant Operators, Technology Suppliers.
This CALL is dedicated to works involving practical issues on existing plants and technologies, from an industrial perspective.
This works should report the main results of the activity conducted and the layout of its configuration, showing the overall analysis of the study case system.
As an example, authors of works including a performance evaluation of a pilot plant or the experimental application of a new technology are invited to apply for this type of call, in the form of a short abstract.
The dual nature of the CALL is meant to preserve a balance between abstracts with a strong scientific background coming mainly from the academic world together with the ones of industrial derivation with more technological and ordinary application.
However both type of abstracts coming either as scientific contributions or as technical contributions will be evaluated by the same scientific committee and will be distributed equally among the different sessions as oral presentations or posters, according to their content and their interest.
