3 WELCOME TO EUBCE 2018 Biomass utilisation for multitude of products continues to grow in the rapidly developing bioeconomy. This growth brings many new challenges with the scaling up of existing technologies and the emergence of new ones that benefit from new innovations. Biomass provides a vital source of renewable energy, fuels, chemicals and materials for replacing fossil fuels that are responsible for a large part of the climate change we are already experiencing. In Stockholm at the 25th EUBCE the key question of "the indispensable role of biomass" was at the centre of key political, industrial and scientific discussions during opening, throughout the conference, and closing the conference. We now look forward to the 26th EUBCE in 2018 in Denmark and to the many vibrant topics that will be included in the agenda. The core of the traditional EUBCE conference will be held over 4 days. There will however be an extension to the core conference and exhibition in order to showcase the many achievements in the field of full scale biomass utilisation in Denmark that are an integral and major part of the country becoming fossil-free by Members of the national organising committee will organise special technical visits to sites in the centre of the country where biomass is the key renewable feedstock into processes producing renewable energy, biofuels, biochemicals and biomaterials as well as integrating bioproducts into traditional established fossil-based systems. We hope that you will take advantage not only of the well established annual EUBCE event in 2018, but also of the added opportunity to get close to the fruits of well designed polices and the deployment of scaled up biomass utilisation technologies in Denmark in May EUBCE 2017 Conference Opening 3

7 Helpful Hints for Abstract Submission PLEASE NOTE Citability of Papers: All submitted final papers of plenary, oral and poster presentations will be published online and coded by a digital identifier (DOI code) provided by the German National Library of Science and Technology. This guarantees an unequivocal and permanent identification and citability of all papers of the EUBCE Conference Proceedings. Peer Review: A selected number of the highest scored abstracts will be invited to be peer reviewed and published by the renowned scientific journal Biomass & Bioenergy visit the website. The Conference Proceedings will be indexed by SCOPUS. EUBCE Student Awards: The annual EUBCE Student Awards have been established in 2011 to encourage highquality work amongst young researchers. All matriculated students may apply with their submitted abstract. The awards will be granted in recognition of the most remarkable and outstanding research work in the field of Biomass. For more information about the application procedure please visit the website. 2. How is your abstract evaluated? 1. Abstract review process process and notification of acceptance The Programme Committees will review all abstracts that have been submitted on time and in the correct format. Paper Reviewers can recommend abstracts for plenary, oral or poster presentation or otherwise reject abstracts which do not possess the quality required for presentation or are not relevant to the topics of the conference. Abstracts are reviewed on a scale of 1 to 10: 1 being very poor and 10 being excellent. The three selection criteria are: CONTENT In line with the selected subtopic Relevance for other groups active in biomass Clearly understandable and direct to the point INNOVATION Advancement in terms of progress and novelty QUALITY Scientific quality as well as the probability of a good presentation at the conference. The plenary and the oral presentations are reserved for contributions covering a wider scope which are of interest to a broader audience and address the progress and novelties within the topic. Poster presentations are mostly dedicated to issues of interest for specialists in a particular field. The reviewed abstracts, together with the recommendations of reviewers and any additional comments are made available to the Topic Organisers. The TO s will prepare session proposals, identifying the abstracts they wish to include in their session. The final decision regarding each abstract will be discussed in a meeting of Topic Organisers in December Corresponding authors will be notified of the outcome of their submission by through the address biomass.conference(at)etaflorence.it. Save this address in your address book to make sure you receive our messages. And as an added measure, please make sure to check your spam folder for notifications regarding abstract review results! 3. Presenter s registration The presenting authors (the presenter) must register and pay the conference fee within one month of their receipt of the notification letter to guarantee their place in the conference programme. The presenter is entitled to a non-transferable registration discount within this one-month period. Detailed information will be given together with the notification letter. 7

8 Inclusion of EUBCE proceedings in Scopus. The European Biomass Conference and Exhibition Proceedings will be indexed in Scopus. Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Recognizing the high scientific level of this conference, the proceedings will be an important addition to Scopus, bridging the gap between research and application. Citation of the proceedings will therefore increase the visibility of all papers. All submitted final papers of plenary, oral and visual presentations will be also coded by a digital identifier (DOI code) provided by the German National Library of Science and Technology. This guarantees an unequivocal and permanent identification and citability of all papers of the Conference Proceedings. Apply for Peer Review Each year, the Scientific Committee selects a number of abstracts to be submitted as full-length journal papers for peer review and publication by the renowned scientific journal Biomass & Bioenergy The paper will be as well included in the EUBCE proceedings.
