The call for papers will open in November 2025 and the available topics/sessions are listed below. Please prepare your abstract as PDF file (max. 1 page and 1 MB file size using the template below; see also the submission information file below). The abstract should explicitly mention objectives, results and conclusions and/or significance of the work. Accepted abstracts will be published for all conference participants as digital “book of abstracts” (conference proceedings as PDF file) shortly before the conference.

Abstract submission details

The selection of the contributions will be based on the review of the abstracts by the International Scientific Committee. And please note that several prizes will be awarded during EUROCORR for the best poster and oral presentation of early-career researchers (e.g., EFC Poster Prize, Best Oral Presentation Award, Nuclear Corrosion Oral & Poster Prize).

Three presentation options can be selected during abstract submission:

  • Lecture (20 min): Regular oral presentation (15 min talk plus 5 min for Q&A).
  • Poster: “Classical” poster presentation.
  • Short Lecture (5 min): Short oral presentation (3 min talk with a maximum of 4 slides incl. title slide plus 2 min for Q&A).

Shortly after the conference, we will also provide a digital “book of presentations” to all registered conference attendees, containing those presentation files made available by the authors (voluntarily). Technical details for the process will be given to all presenters in due time.

Important: The conference registration fee cannot be waived for authors!

The abstracts need to be submitted by 16 January 2026 via the Converia conference management system (of Dechema).

For the International Committee and the Organising Committee please see the Organisation page.
