Abstract Guidelines

       

Submit your abstract 


The ICT/ECT 2024 Scientific Committee are inviting you to actively participate in ICT/ECT 2024 conference in Krakow which will be a unique occasion for the exchange of views and experiences in the area of thermoelectricity (theory and modeling; physical phenomena; new materials, measurement techniques; thermoelectric devices; systems and applications). We look forward to receiving abstracts for consideration and inclusion in the program as oral or poster presentations.

 

Submission

Submission deadline: February 29th, 2024 

Abstract submission deadline for posters only: June 20th, 2024

The abstract submission is only possible online. Abstracts submitted by fax or mail will not be accepted. Please follow very carefully the instructions before submitting the abstract. Abstracts will be online for review by the author until the submission deadline, February 29th, 2024 (23.59 hrs CET).  Submitted abstracts will be treated as confidential and will only be shared to the Scientific Committee.

 

Style

The abstract, should not exceed 3400 characters (approx. one A4 page), incl. spaces and punctuation. The abstract must be written in English and should provide a clear description of the aims, methods and results of the study. Concluding remarks and acknowledgments may be given at the end. Emphasis should be on the technical and/or scientific results of the study. Original and novel results will be preferred for oral presentation.

PLEASE USE THE ABSTRACT TEMPLATE / DOC />>> here

Please note that the Scientific Committee reserves the right to determine the final topic.

Review process

All abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committees and therefore we strongly recommend that you ensure your abstract satisfies the following points:

  • Does the abstract capture the interest of a potential reader?
  • Is it well written in terms of language, grammar, etc.?
  • Does the title describe the subject being written about?
  • Does it make a clear statement of the topic of the paper and the research question?
  • Does it say how the research was/is being undertaken?
  • Does it give a concise summary of the findings?

Acceptance notification and publication

All abstracts received by the indicated deadline will be evaluated by the ICT/ECT 2024 Scientific Committee, based on their technical and/or scientific quality. Acceptance, together with technical details for presentation (oral or poster), will be notified only to the submitting author by June 3rd , 2024. Accepted abstracts will be published as congress materials on USB flash drive and / or  on the conference website.
