GENERAL INFORMATION
INDICATION OF INTEREST IN THE CONGRESS
If you only wish to be informed on Congress news or if you later wish to submit a paper please fill in the Congress Application Form. You will receive a personal password which will give you an access to your personal user pages.
Application for presentation of a paper must be submitted only with use of the Application Form.
Every application must be accompanied by max. 2 pages long summary in English (observe kindly instructions for its preparation below) uploaded with the interactive application form. Application form without summary will not be considered. The summary should be comprehensive and suitable for reviewing by members of the Scientific Committee. The deadline for the submission of application for oral presentation is 30 November 2015. Later applications for oral presentation will be considered exceptionally. Posters may be accepted up to the beginning of the Congress, however only contributions received before 31 May 2016 will be included in the final program.
Upon the submission the CHISA authors will be asked to express their intention to submit a contribution as an article to one of the congress special issues.
Important note: One oral and two poster presentations are only allowed for one registered (and paid) participant due to time and space limitations.
Every author will receive an e-mail message confirming the receipt of the application. Notification about the final acceptance of CHISA contributions will be sent in February 2016 while the PRES contributors will be notified later.
After a formal check, the submitted summaries will be accessible on the CHISA website. It will then be possible for the corresponding author to modify her/his summary based on the personal log-in password. Author may update the original summary via her/his user page before 31 May 2016. It is assumed that the original title of the contribution will not be modified.
At least one of the authors must register as a participant and settle her/his registration fee before 30 April 2016 otherwise the paper will be withdrawn from the program.
The summary must be prepared with any version of the MS-Word editor (as *.docx or *.doc) on one sheet of A4 size (297x210 mm) with all margins equal to 25 mm. The single spaced text should be typed in Times New Roman font.
Please, start at the top of page with the title of your contribution (non-capitalised, left aligned, bold, size 14 pts.); for a title, maximum of 150 characters including spaces is allowed. Skip two lines below title and type the author’s name(s) in the following order: initial(s), surname (font size 12 pt., left aligned). Underline the name of the author delivering the paper. On the next line, enter the affiliations of authors with full postal address; telephone, fax, and e-mail connections are desirable (12 pt., left aligned).
Then, skip two lines and begin your summary text: single spaced, justified, non-bold, 12 pts., Times New Roman. You can locate any text, equations, figures, references, etc. within the area available.
An example (template) of summary is available in MS-Word.
Please follow all the instructions very carefully to achieve the formal appearance of a summary as closely as possible to this template. Regrettably, most of preliminary summaries usually do not comply with these instructions. Therefore, they must be formally re-edited by the Scientific Committee, which does not bear responsibility for possible changes ensuing from such reformatting. Every author is responsible for the quality and content of her/his summary. The summary not meeting the above requirements will not be accepted and the author will be notified.
FORMS OF PAPER PRESENTATION
Contributions will be presented as keynote lectures, lectures, or posters. As lectures, preferably papers with a wider scope or importance should be submitted. Authors should indicate the preferred form of presentation but the Scientific Committee reserves the right to make the final decision. The Congress language is English.
Poster presentation
The majority of papers will be presented as posters and thus they are a very important part of the Congress program.
Scope. Try to arrange your poster in such a way to provide a clear comprehensible image of your work at first sight even for those participants who are not conversant in your special field of interest. Give preference to diagrams, pictures and charts. The text should be very concise and accentuate the particular aim of your work, its importance, application, and the key formulas and symbols. Leave details to the discussion with interested people.
Form. The size of the poster board is 130 cm (height) by 96 cm (width). The presenters will mark their posters with a heading, containing the title (size of letters 4 cm, at least), and the name(s) of author(s), affiliation, city and country (size of letters 2 cm). Letters under 1 cm are not suitable. Posting only a printout of the full text does not do credit to the sense and purpose of poster session.
The presenters will arrange their posters at designated panels before the beginning of the poster session and remove them immediately after the closure of the session, i. e. at 17 h.
Lecture presentation
Since the oral sessions are based on rigid time schedules, a regular lecture including discussion can last no longer than 20 minutes. Forty minutes are usually reserved for keynote lecture.
Data projectors. Lecture rooms will be equipped with data projector/PC and CD-ROM drives, and with PowerPoint software (version 2003 and higher). We are not adapted for Macintosh software. A PC for checking the PowerPoint presentation beforehand will be available in the Congress Reading Room. A connection to Internet will not be available in the lecture rooms.
The lectures should be presented in English. Kindly use short sentences, a slower pace of delivery and clear and distinct pronunciation. This concerns specifically those presenters who speak in their mother tongue (i.e. English).
Participants will receive CD-ROM with all abstracts. No full texts will be included, however selected papers could be submitted to special issues as described below. Authors not intending to submit a paper to the congress special issue journal, or the authors whose contribution is not accepted for publication, are free to publish their papers at will after the congress.
CHISA 2016 offers to all participants publishing their contributions as full papers in three impacted international journals as follows. All submitted papers will be subjected to the standard peer review process.
1. Chemical Engineering and Technology (John Wiley). This CHISA 2016 special issue is understood as the congress profile journal. It is expected that presenters of 80 CHISA lectures and posters will be approached after the congress closure (before 14 September 2016) with the pre-nomination appeal. The gate for submissions of manuscripts will be open since 14 September 2016 for the next four weeks. About 35 outstanding papers will be then selected from pre-nominations on the basis of standard peer review process. Editor of this special issue will be B. Böck (Editor-in-chief, DE).
2. Chemical & Biochemical Engineering Quarterly (Croatian Society of Chemical Engineering). The CHISA 2016 special issue of the journal is open for all topics from chemical and biochemical engineering. It is expected that about 40 interested presenters of CHISA lectures and posters will be approached before the Congress starts with the pre-nomination appeal. The journal will accept manuscripts since 14 September 2016 during the following four weeks. There will be about 20 papers finally accepted for publication after standard reviewing procedure. Guest Editors of the special issue are G. Bogdanić and I. Wichterle (CZ).
3. Journal of Food Engineering (Elsevier). Participants of the “Symposium on novel food processes and technologies” have the challenge to publish their papers in this journal. Papers will be selected only "on invitation basis" by the group of symposium advisors (Z. Bubník, R. Šárka, and M. Houška). Participants of the Symposium will be asked if they wish to prepare a manuscript on the topic presented within this Symposium. There will be about 10 papers selected for publication. Editor of this journal is M. Houška (CZ) who will deal with submitted manuscripts. Important dates for special issue preparation: Submission date: 22 September – 6 October 2016.
PRES 2016 publication policy
