Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a fee for submitting?

No, there is no fee for submitting an abstract. The submission process is completely free.

Can I submit multiple abstracts?

Yes, you can submit multiple abstracts. However, each submission must be unique and should not be submitted under more than one category.

What makes a strong technical paper?

A strong technical paper aligns with industry-relevant topics and demonstrates originality, technical depth, and practical impact. It should clearly define the objective, outline the methodology, present key findings, and highlight the significance and impact of the work.

The following serves as a helpful framework for crafting a high-quality submission:

  1. Industry relevance
    Submissions should address key challenges, trends, and advancements in the downstream sector, including renewable energy solutions and decarbonisation strategies.

  2. Originality and innovation
    Papers should present new knowledge, insights, or advancements rather than simply summarising existing information. Research and developments that push the boundaries of current understanding are highly encouraged.

  3. Technical rigor
    Papers should present robust methodologies, experiments, or data analysis.
    Submissions must demonstrate robust methodologies, experiments, or data analysis. Papers should include detailed findings such as:
    • Quantitative results
    • Simulations or modeling techniques
    • Field-tested applications

  4. Practical applications
    Papers should showcase real-world applications of theories or innovations. Case studies and project reviews should highlight measurable impacts on performance, cost-efficiency, or sustainability.

  5. Cross-disciplinary approaches
    Submissions that integrate concepts from multiple disciplines are encouraged, as they can provide broader insights and solutions to industry challenges.

  6. Policy and regulatory considerations
    We encourage papers that explore policy frameworks, regulatory developments, and compliance strategies relevant to the downstream sector.

  7. Readability and accessibility
    Papers should be well-structured and clearly written, with defined objectives and organised content. The use of visual aids (charts, diagrams, and graphs) is encouraged to enhance understanding and engagement.

What happens after submission?

After submission, the abstract undergoes a review process by the downstream technical committee. Abstracts are evaluated based on specific criteria, which form the basis for selecting papers.

Do I have to submit a white paper if my abstract is selected?

No, the Downstream Technical Conference does not publish white papers. If your abstract is selected, you are only required to prepare a technical presentation in PowerPoint, following a format that will be provided.
