All abstracts must be submitted according to the instructions below. The abstracts submitted for the GRØN DYST study conference will be published as they are submitted in the conference program. Please adhere to the standards given below or use this template as it will greatly ease the process of editing and printing the conference proceedings. Your cooperation in this is very much appreciated.

General settings

The page size of the abstract is 17 x 24cm and margins of 2cm on all sides. The font used throughout the abstract is Arial and single line spacing.

Content and structure

We suggest that the abstract as far as possible follows the standard structure of academic text (introduction, theory, methods, results and conclusion). When writing the abstract please be aware of the evaluation criteria in order to target your presentation as much as possible to the GRØN DYST framework. You might want to include a Life Cycle Check (LCC) table to improve your argumentation regarding the relevance and the sustainability issues of the project.
