Call for Papers

Working language for all presentations and discussions is English.

Authors are expected to secure registration fee (cut-price) of EUR 250,00 + 19% VAT (EUR 150,00 + 19% VAT for Students/University Staff), travel and accomodation funding through their sponsoring organizations before submitting abstracts. Only original material should be submitted.

Those who wish to offer a technical paper or a tutorial for PCIM Europe 2008 should send their abstract/synopsis by using the online submission form. This has to be filled out exactly to the required information. The synopsis should be submitted as pdf-file, and should not exceed 3 pages. Please use this pattern in word or pdf format.

All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the the Advisory Board to ensure a high-quality conference. Notification about acceptance in January 2008. Submitted papers may be selected for oral or poster/dialogue presentation.

In case of acceptance your final paper will be published in the official conference proceedings on CD. Detailed information and guidelines for preparing and presenting the final paper will be provided with an authors kit from January 2008.

Awards

Best Paper Award “Power Electronics in Industrial or Automotive Applications” The best paper in this category will be selected upon the submitted final paper and granted at PCIM Europe 2008 Conference. The best author in this field is invited to the PCIM China Conference in Shanghai (March 2009) including flight and accommodation. This award is sponsored by Power Electronics Europe.
