The 2025 IFT-NPD/EFFoST Nonthermal Processing Workshop Abstract Submission Portal
Abstract Deadline: 15 July 2025
Information Regarding Submissions
If you or a co-author who will be presenting the paper poster requires a visa to attend the conference,
please start that process immediately to allow sufficient time for processing.
If you will require a letter indicating that you are participating in the conference as part of the visa application,
please contact the organizing committee immediately through nonthermal2025@cau.edu.cn .
We are now accepting abstracts in these three categories:
1. Technical Session (Oral Presentation): Technical papers are the core of the technical program.
An abstract is submitted, and if selected, you are required to give an oral presentation during the conference.
Please prepare your presentation in PowerPoint format with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The duration of the presentation is 20 minutes, including time for discussion.
2. Poster Session: The General Poster session is open as a request option to all authors .
During the submission process, authors will have the option to request their preference: oral presentation or poster presentation of the paper,
or either is OK. The final decision on how the paper will be presented will be made by the Academic Committee based on the author's preference, reviewers' feedback, and other factors.
Additionally, General Poster participants must prepare and print the poster according to the poster template.
Authors participating in the poster session will present the poster on-site during a dedicated live session at the conference.
3. Student Competition:
Students may submit abstracts to the Student Competition. This competition is open to any full-time student in an accredited program. The presenting student must be listed as the first author of the abstract.
Those abstracts not selected for the Student Competition can be invited to present in the Technical or Poster Session.
The Student Competition follows a THREE-MINUTE THESIS (3MT) format,
which challenges students to present a compelling spoken presentation on their research topic and its significance in just three minutes.
The rules of 3MT are :
- One static PowerPoint slide is permitted. No slide transitions, animations or 'movement' of any description are allowed. The slide is to be presented from the beginning of the oration.
- No additional electronic media (e.g. sound and video files) are permitted.
- No additional props (e.g. costumes, musical instruments, laboratory equipment) are permitted.
- Presentations are limited to 3 minutes maximum.
- Presentations are to be spoken word (e.g. no poems, raps or songs).
- Presentations are to commence from the stage.
- Presentations are considered to have commenced when a presenter starts their presentation through either movement or speech
