ii) Authors of scheduled presentations during the Conference are encouraged to submit their paper for peer review based on the subject of their oral or poster presentations. The accepted papers will be published with IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), Advances in Cryogenic Engineering, and as such will be subject to the usual peer review procedures of the Proceedings. Instructions for paper preparation will be available shortly. The paper submission deadline is Monday, July 22, 2019.

Wireless internet access will be available throughout the conference area. An internet café will not be provided during CEC/ICMC’19, however, the publication office, as well as the speaker ready room, will provide for additional computer equipment for uploading of your presentations.
