Selection Criteria:

The conference planning committee evaluates abstracts based on specific rating criteria. These criteria include:



  • Quality of the abstract: The quality of work, project design, and its relevance to the conference theme will be considered.
  • Originality of the work: New information or concepts, or substantial improvements to existing theories.
  • Usefulness of the work: Abstracts that report actual benefits and widespread applications are highly valued. The committee considers if the work is useful to the nonwoven materials industry and if it concludes anything new that would otherwise be ignored.
  • Presentation: The presentation’s relevance, speaker’s dynamic skills, and local connection to the conference site will be considered. Obvious sales pitches will not be ranked well.
