MET 2027 invites contributions of original research, reviews, case studies and industrial applications across four thematic tracks. Abstract submission is now open and runs until February 2027.
Invitation
The conference brings together researchers, engineers, classification societies, regulators and industry to address the decarbonisation and digital transformation of shipping. Every accepted contribution is peer reviewed and presented in a technical session alongside keynote addresses and panel discussions.
Contributions are welcome from academia and from industry alike. We particularly encourage submissions that report practical experience, operational data or regulatory experience, and submissions from postgraduate students and early-career researchers, for whom dedicated sessions are planned.
Abstracts are 200 to 300 words and are prepared on the MET 2027 abstract template. Download the template, fill it in and send it as a Word or PDF file. The full paper template and page limits are published for the authors of accepted abstracts. Full paper template TBC
Process
Choose one of the four thematic tracks and email your abstract to the conference secretariat. The secretariat replies with a submission reference, normally within five working days.
The international scientific committee reviews every abstract and notifies authors of the outcome.
Authors of accepted abstracts prepare a full paper to the published template and email it to the same address by the deadline, quoting the submission reference.
Full papers are peer reviewed. Authors receive final acceptance together with the session programme.
At least one author registers for the conference and presents the work in the assigned technical session.
Abstracts are submitted by email. There is no submission platform and no account to create. Send one email to [email protected] with the following.
The secretariat acknowledges every submission. If you have not had a reply within five working days, please email again.
