2. Abstract Title: Abstract titles are limited to 20 words or less.
3. Co-authors: Each co-author should be added separately to the submission to ensure proper listing. Enter title, first (given) name, last (family/surname) name, email address, institution/affiliation and country for each author.

The Conference Organising and Technical Program Committees recognise the time and effort it takes for authors to prepare abstracts, however, we encourage your early submission of your intention to present a paper at the AEGC 2021. This will provide the Technical Program Committee with the ability to determine a preliminary program and promote it to our intended delegates. The Conference Organising and Technical Program Committees are looking forward to presenting a technically strong program for the AEGC 2021 and welcomes you, the contributor, to assist in achieving this aim.
