Industry
Events
Special events
for local industries will be arranged in any of the following forms.
1.
Researchers and development engineers can submit regular scientific
articles for review
2.
Relevant engineering companies can present their achievements, good
practices, new product ideas and the like in relevant sessions. This
option does not need to go through regular review process and will
not be published.
3.
Sponsorship with stand: we can arrange sponsors corner outside the
conference hall.
If
you are interested to participate in any of the above options, please
contact the conference chair at Hirpa.g.lemu@uis.no
or any of the topic area coordinators.
