We welcome papers, brief technical notes, and posters. You are invited to present your research or discuss your technical developments in our printed proceedings.

To submit a paper, upload an abstract of maximum 3,000 characters (free style) as well as a brief summary of the nature of your work and level of expertise to our submission platform between 11 February and 11 May 2013.

Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by 15 June 2013.

Final papers must then be submitted online by 31 August 2013.

As the conference language is English, all abstracts have to be written in English.

Authors will pay a reduced workshop fee.

All participants are responsible for paying their own travel and hotel expenses.

All presented papers and posters will be published in the workshop proceedings (ISBN 978-3-98 13870-8-7).

Note: The best 15 papers from the Wind & Solar Integration Workshop will be selected for a special issue of the IET Renewable Power Generation.
The selected papers nevertheless have to go through the review process of the journal, which will lead to changes compared to the original version presented at the conference.
