11th International Conference on Diffusion in Materials (DIMAT)
Dear Colleague,
since the actual epidemiological situation does not allow us to meet in-person, the 11’th Diffusion in Materials conference will be held on an online platform. In this second circular we invite you to submit abstracts for the DIMAT 2021 International Conference.
- Abstracts Submission Deadline is extended: June 15, 2021
- Please re-upload your Abstracts submitted last year.
Abstract Submission Information
- Abstracts may be submitted for oral or poster presentations, in English only.
- Notifications to presenting authors will be sent by June 21, 2021.
- Registration of the presenting author is mandatory. In order to ensure inclusion in the program, registration fee should be received by June 30, 2021.
The scientific program and the abstracts will be published online on this website. Submission of the abstract constitutes the authors’ consent to such publication.
DIMAT-2021 Proceedings will be published in the online journal “Diffusion Fundamentals”. All presenters are encouraged to submit the manuscripts of their oral and poster presentations.
Proceedings paper submission deadline : August 15, 2021
Concerning the technical detailes of this virtual conference we will provide you with the necessary informations on the conference website (DIMAT 2021).
Abstract Submission Guidelines
Before you start the abstract submission process, please read and prepare all necessary information detailed below.
The on-line Abstract Submission Form includes the following parts:
Part 1: Presenting author’s contact details (use full first name and last name)
Part 2: Authors
- By default, the name of the presenting author will automatically appear as the first author, but the order may be changed as you insert additional names.
- Insert the names of the additional Authors in the order that they should appear in the Authors list.
- You will be able to change the order, if needed.
- Use full first name and last name of all authors.
Part 3: Affiliation/s (Institution/s)
- Insert name of institution, department, city (state, if relevant) and country. After each institution you have listed, check the box/es of author/s associated with that institution.
- Make a separate entry for each institution. DO NOT repeat identical institution details if they apply to more than one author.
- Text should be in Upper and Lower Case.
- Do not abbreviate Department, Institute, University, etc.
- In the Department field, type in “Department of” If relevant, as only the words you type in will show on the abstract.
