How to submit an abstract?
Technical presentations for the conference will be selected from proposals submitted to the technical committee. Early submission is particularly important to ensure that the committee members have ample time to review the proposals. Late submissions will not be accepted.
STEP 1. REVIEW TECHNICAL CATEGORIES
Review the list of categories to indicate the topic that best describes your proposal. A primary choice is required. Presentation proposals are evaluated on the basis of the information supplied on the presentation proposal form in accordance with the following criteria:
- The proposed presentation must contribute to technology or be of immediate interest to the hydrogen industry and should contain significant new knowledge or experience in the hydrogen industry.
- The proposed presentation should avoid undue commercialism and extensive use of trade names.
STEP 2. SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT
All abstract submissions will need to be submitted electronically through the online submission form by the October 31, 2025 deadline.
Enter a title that is concise, yet descriptive of the primary content and application of the proposed presentation. Canadian Hydrogen Convention has a stated policy against use of commercial trade names, company names, or language that is commercial in tone in the presentation title, text or slides. Use of such terms will result in careful scrutiny by the technical committee in evaluating presentation proposals and the presence of commercialism in the presentation or poster may result in it being withdrawn from consideration in the final technical program.
A proper review of your abstract requires that it contains adequate information on which to make a judgment. Written in English and containing 450 words, presentation proposals should include the following:
- Objectives/Scope: Please list the objectives and/or scope of the proposed presentation.
- Methods, Procedures, Process: Briefly explain your overall approach, including your methods, procedures and process.
- Results, Observations, Conclusions: Please describe the results, observations and conclusions of the proposed presentation.
- Novel/Additive Information: Please explain how this presentation will present novel (new) or additive information to the existing body of literature that can be of benefit to and/or add to the state of knowledge in the hydrogen industry.
Prior to proposal submission, management clearance must be obtained. Any issues concerning clearance (Visa, travel restrictions, lengthy approval times, budget restraints, etc) should be outlined when the abstract proposal is submitted.
STEP 3: SCORING PROCESS
- After you have submitted your abstract for consideration the technical committee will review all submissions after the October 31, 2025, deadline. The technical committee will review the submissions based on a list of criteria given to them ahead of time.
