Pre-submission of ‘breakthrough abstracts’

In response to feedback from members we held a call for contributions presenting the very latest findings and breakthroughs that have never been made public before. This was carried out for the first time at EWEA OFFSHORE 2015 and repeated at EWEA 2015.

This call for ‘breakthrough abstracts’ closed on 19 June 2016

We would like to thank the 40 submitters who answered the call. The review will now take place until 30 June, and submitters will be notified as of 1st July. Submissions will be reviewed according to the same process used for the main abstract review before the summer, with the best being selected for presentation. Breakthrough abstracts not selected for an oral presentation and of sufficient standard will be offered the opportunity to be presented as posters.

Criteria for selection

Submitters should bear in mind that this should not be considered as a ‘second chance’ for those that missed the 17 April deadline for the main call for abstracts.

Only abstracts that propose to share breakthroughs that would have been impossible to fully submit in April will be considered.

• A breakthrough abstract should present findings that have never been presented before.
• The data should not have been published before WindEurope Summit 2016.
• The abstract should feature an element of real novelty (i.e. new technology, new methodology, new high-quality data, high-impact results that challenge the status quo/common assumptions and open new perspectives)
• Overtly promotional / commercial presentations will be discarded.
