Submission of papers
Paper submission to the 31st edition of the International Energy Workshop has been closed on February 1st, 2012.
Please note that paper selection has become increasingly competitive in recent years. Submissions that fully describe a complete analysis are most likely to be accepted. In particular, when submitting a long abstract, please ensure that the study and results are sufficiently described to allow comparison with full paper submissions.
Each person can present only one selected paper, although multiple submissions are allowed. Please kindly fill in one online form for each paper.
