Submission guidelines

1. Before you begin
   • All papers should be submitted through the online form below. Logging in to the electronic platform is required prior to submission.
   • After the submission deadline, all submissions are reviewed by the scientific committee for presentation at the conference as a poster, oral or short oral presentation
   • If a paper is selected for oral, short oral or poster presentation, at least one author must register for the conference and present the paper. However, no individual can present more than two submissions. Any further papers must be presented by a co-author.
   • All presenters will be required to register for the conference by 16^th of May 2025. Presenters, who have not registered by this date, will not be included in the conference program.
   • All submissions will be published in the conference proceedings (including a DOI for each paper) unless the author does not wish to publish the submission. Selected submissions will be recommended for publication in the Special Issues of the conference (based on the review by the scientific committee and session chairs). For the special issue, one of the 15 IWA Publishing peer-reviewed Open Access journals (https://www.iwapublishing.com/journals) can be chosen. All submissions will later be compiled to the Special Issue.  In addition, selected papers will be recommended for publication in a Special Issue published in Bioresource Technology. In both cases, the conference submissions are extended to a full paper and have to undergo the review process of the respective Journal.
