Dates may change due to e.g. extension of the deadline for submitting short abstracts. Any information about changes will be communicated to you immediately.

Applications are assessed by the Scientific Committee of the PCS according to the following criteria:

• originality and importance of the issues raised(0-5);
• correct formulation of the research objective(0-5);
• potential impact on carbon science or engineering of carbon materials (0-5);
• the author's scientific achievements to date (0-5).

We encourage the authors of the best works to present a presentation prepared for Carbon 2023 during the PCS Scientific Workshops "New trends in carbon science". This point does not affect the decision on financing the conference fee. It's about the opportunity for the speaker to test himself in front of a more intimate audience and collect constructive comments before speaking at Carbon 2023.
