Next Generation Showcase 2021

The CIGRE Paris Session is one of the main international events in the power industry, bringing worldwide experts together to discuss about the power industry’s future. The CIGRE Centennial Paris Session, celebrating 100 years of collaboration, will be held in August 2021 in Paris.

The Next Generation Network (NGN) Showcase is a great opportunity for students and young professionals to present their work to leading experts from all around the world. The selected candidates from the Netherlands will have the chance to be a part of the Showcase event, as well as receive free tickets for the entire conference and support for transport and accommodation.

The CIGRE NGN Netherlands is happy to invite NGN NL members to prepare and submit their abstracts of proposed presentations for the upcoming CIGRE 2021 Session to the young@cigre.nl, by 11th of January 2021.

Topics for abstracts/presentations need to align with one of the 16 CIGRE Study Committees. Abstracts will be scored on technical content, relevance to the selected Study Committee, and presentation of the material (structure, figures, etc.).

The candidates are asked to provide the following documents and information:

  • Synopsys (abstract), explaining your research briefly, based on the template from this link
  • Presentation, based on the template from this link
  • Your name, age, university/faculty or company position, and contact information

The candidates do not need to submit a full paper for this event, this is for a showcase of presentations only. Furthermore, the research should be novel and not already published elsewhere.

You must be a CIGRE NL NGN member to apply. To join CIGRE NL NGN, follow this link.

*Note: the final decision over whether a presenter can have a slot at the Paris Session will remain with the respective Study Committee chair.
