The Call for Papers for the 38th International Symposium on Combustion has been released. Program Co-Chairs (PCCs) Tim Lieuwen of Georgia Institute of Technology, United States, and Fei Qi of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, have led the process to form the foundation of a successful symposium. The paper submission process, combustion colloquium categories, and colloquium teams are now set for the symposium.
The selection of papers for presentation and publication is based on the quality and scientific rigor of the submissions evaluated in a peer-review process. Authors are highly encouraged to provide assessment of experimental/numerical uncertainty and its impact on the interpretation of results and conclusions. With their submission, authors must also indicate a choice of colloquium.
Paper submissions must be received by the deadline of 23:59 PST, 07 November 2019. Authors will be notified of acceptance of their papers for presentation at the symposium no later than the week of 02 March 2020.
Work-in-Progress Poster (WiPP) sessions will be scheduled to run concurrently with oral presentations of accepted papers. Selection of WiPPs are determined on the basis of a one-page abstract. A full-length paper is not required, and WiPPs will not be published in the Proceedings of The Combustion Institute.
WiPP abstract submissions must be received by the deadline of 23:59 PST, 21 October 2020. Authors will be notified of decisions concerning WiPPs during the week of 4 November 2020.
The paper and WiPP selection process can be reviewed in the Call for Papers. In the coming months, the symposium website will host more information about symposium registration, local arrangements and attractions, and travel accommodations. An announcement will be issued when the sites are open for submissions.

The 38th International Symposium on Combustion will convene in Adelaide, Australia from Sunday, 24 January through Friday, 29 January 2021. The biennial symposium provides a scientific venue for sharing ideas and experiences on the development and applications of combustion science. As an internationally recognized city, Adelaide offers our combustion community world-class opportunities to interact with scientists and companies in an exciting and dynamic environment.
