About the abstract submission

A Two page Extended Abstract describing the main features of the work should be submitted before February 28^th, 2019.

• A full paper is not required to be submitted.
• Extended abstracts should be submitted for either a poster or an oral presentation.

While the submission of a full paper is not required, a number of papers will be selected by the members of the scientific advisory committee for special issues of Particuology and Powder Technology (more information to be announced shortly).

The poster session is a key part of this conference and is open to everyone, so we would like to encourage you to consider submitting a Two-page Extended Abstract for poster presentation.
