What equipment should I use for my paper?

This will be determined by your local Dewesoft mentor depending on the measurement challenge you want to tackle. 

What if I need support with the paper content?

Our copywriting team will reach out to you with guidelines and suggestions and make sure your paper is suitable for publication.

How are participants selected?

Selection is based on:

In cases where applications exceed the available country-specific seats, the most promising candidates are chosen by additional interviews. Late or exceptional applications may also be considered.

What happens if my country’s seats are full?

You can still submit your paper. If your application is exceptional, we may offer a special consideration or place you on a waiting list. Additionally, some countries may not reach their full quota, and those seats can be reallocated to applicants from other countries.
