Unlocking the Potential of Circular Materials: Nordic Perspectives

Call for contributions

Submission of papers

Prospective authors are invited to submit abstracts. A selection of best papers will be made by the Scientific Committee of CCR.

Abstract submission should be made by May 30, 2025.

Abstract should be no more than 500 words. It should explain the subject, originality, and relevance to Circular Materials Conference. Authors of accepted abstracts are required to submit the following materials:

Final Publication and Presentation

Maximum Eight-page Full Paper (including references) in pdf and word - using the one of the templates, which can be downloaded from circularmaterialsconference.se.

Publication in the Proceedings and presentation at the Conference are conditional on the final acceptance of the Full Paper and on the registration of the presenting Author at the Conference. Each registered Author will be entitled to present a maximum of one paper at the Conference.

Notice

Circular Materials Conference enforces a “no-show” policy. Any accepted paper included in the final program is expected to have at least one author or qualified proxy attend and present the paper at the conference.

Are you interested in holding a presentation at Circular Materials Conference 2025? Authors are kindly encouraged to contribute to and help shape the conference through submissions of their research abstracts and papers.
