We invite you to submit abstracts for the DIMAT 2017 International Conference on Diffusion in Materials.
Abstracts Submission Deadline: January 10, 2017
Abstract Submission Information
- Abstracts may be submitted for oral or poster presentations, in English only.
- Notifications to presenting authors will be sent by February 7, 2017
- Registration of the presenting author is mandatory. In order to ensure inclusion in the program, registration should be received by March 1, 2017 – the early registration deadline for presenters.
- The the scientific program and abstracts will be published online on this website. Submission of the abstract constitutes the authors’ consent to such publication.
