Submit a Paper
All abstracts and papers will be subject to peer review by members of the international scientific advisory committee. All approved papers will appear in the conference proceedings. Papers will be published only upon receiving the full registration fee and a signed copyright form (provided by BINDT upon acceptance of full paper) before 11 May 2018.Selected papers may be published in BINDT's international journal Insight, the International Journal of Condition Monitoring or other leading international journals. Papers related to 'case studies' may be published in the BINDT newsletters Condition Monitor and NDT News.
The Organising Committee welcomes online abstract submission via the website.Abstracts and papers of structured sessions should use the online abstract submission via the website.
Call for Structured Sessions, Panels and World Leading Sessions
Brief proposals for structured sessions and expert panel sessions should be submitted by recognised professionals. Proposals should include a title, author(s), organising author's CV and brief abstract.
Brief proposals for 'World leading sessions' should be submitted by leading representatives of major trade associations, institutions, corporations and consortiums.Substantial discounts in registration fees are available for organisers of structured sessions. Organisers will be acknowledged in all materials (ie proceedings, website, call for papers and announcements), which will be distributed worldwide. Organisers of structured sessions will be awarded the opportunity to present a 'specialised keynote address' at the beginning of the session.
Proposals should be submitted to cm_mfpt@bindt.org or via the website.
