How a DGM Symposium Comes Together

From Abstract to Program

Every DGM Symposium follows a transparent path from submitted abstracts to a curated scientific program. The review and program work is carried by members of the materials community.

Step 01

Call for Abstracts

Researchers worldwide submit lectures, posters and workshop proposals.

Step 02

Reviewed by Experts

Submissions are evaluated by an scientific committee - experts from across the field.

Step 03

Curated Scientific Program

Accepted contributions are arranged into plenaries, lectures, workshops and poster sessions.
