So, you want to participate in the conference?

Great! You can take part if you meet all of the following criteria:

Affiliated with a European knowledge institution (university, research centre, or equivalent)

and

Actively enrolled as a PhD researcher

and

Working on a hydrogen-related topic

If you meet these three requirements, you are eligible to participate in EPHyC 2026!

Whether you have just started your PhD or are approaching your thesis defence, you are warmly welcome at the conference.

Registration process

Registration for the conference is a multi-step process which takes place on our dedicated SciencesConf registration platform.

Follow the steps below as a guide for your registration.

EPHyC 2026 Registration Platform

Step 1/4

Sign up and create an account on the SciencesConf platform. Using your account, submit an abstract according to the abstract guidelines.

Step 2/4

Wait! Our team will review the abstracts and make a list of accepted submissions.

Step 3/4

You will get notified of your acceptance and receive a personal registration code via e-mail.

Step 4/4

Using the registration code, complete your registration on the SciencesConf platform.

Note: only abstracts submitted through the platform will be reviewed. Any submissions sent directly via email will not be viewed or processed.

Note: This last step is crucial. If you do not complete this step, you are NOT registered for the conference, and your spot will be given to another researcher.

Abstract guidelines

A detailed description of the abstract requirements is available on the Submission Instructions page of the SciencesConf platform. Please make an account to access it.

You may also download the templates directly from the submission page.

The main points are:

The abstract must be written in English.
The maximum length is three pages.
The level of detail may reflect the stage of your PhD - early-stage researchers may outline their project, while advanced candidates may present methods, results, and conclusions.
The abstract should clearly state the main objectives, key results (or expected results), and the most relevant conclusions.
Only an abstract is required. No full paper submission is needed after acceptance

Note: EPHyC does not claim copyright on submitted abstracts or presentations. Accepted abstracts will be included in the online Book of Abstracts after the event unless the author requests exclusion.
