Anti-Plagiarism Statement
EAGE invites the presentation of new and original material in a range of multi-disciplinary topics in Geoscience and Engineering. The EAGE takes plagiarism very seriously. Therefore, if an extended abstract or paper, after careful review, examination and consideration, is rejected on the basis of plagiarism, ALL authors of the abstract/paper will be denied the opportunity for further abstract submissions for the following three years. Note that this means that NO abstracts/papers from ANY of the authors (as author or co-author on subsequent papers) will be accepted for ANY EAGE event (Annual Meeting or Workshop) for a period of three years starting on the date of the event for which the paper was originally submitted.
Layout of Extended Abstract
Titles should be relevant and short (max. 16 words allowed).
Extended abstracts must be in English, original and not have appeared in any other publication.
The body of the extended abstract needs to be four (4) full pages in length, paper size A4. Longer or shorter sized abstracts will not be included in the review process and consequently be rejected. The extended abstract should consist of text and appropriate figures supporting the key message. The text should contain at least one figure and references. Four pages of text alone are unacceptable.
Please do not use more than 1 column for text, do not frame the text, and please upload the body of your extended abstract as one document with embedded figures.
Smaller figures may be placed in 2 columns. The caption of these figures may be placed in 2 columns as well but may also be placed in 1 column (alignment justified).
A good extended abstract set in the revised conference template (also available in LaTeX) consists of an introduction, the main description of theory or method broken down as appropriate and illustrated with figures, conclusions, optional acknowledgements and references. It should reflect work that is actually completed at the time of submission and not plans or ideas that are still taking shape in the mind of the author or research that is still highly immature.
The extended abstract must concentrate in itself the essential information of the presentation: purpose, methods, results and conclusions. It should be an abbreviated, informative, accurate representation of the presentation and not a mere recital of the subjects to be covered.

Selection Process
The Selection Committee will consider all extended abstracts submitted via the portal and included in the review process. Authors will be notified by early July 2021. The technical programme selection meeting has then taken place and the technical programme with definite session titles and presentation allocation is composed.
Each extended abstract will be reviewed by at least 2 referees prior to the technical programme selection meeting. The selection process is no formality, on average 2 out of every 5 submitted extended abstracts is rejected!
Please note that the results of the review process and the selection meeting are final and correspondence on them will not be possible.
The extended abstracts must be relevant to one of the conference topics. Authors are required to indicate the topic under which their extended abstract should be evaluated by the referees. Authors should also indicate their preference for either an oral or a poster presentation; certain material is more suitable for poster presentations, due to the details that need to be studied and discussed in more depth.
Oral and poster presentations are treated equally.
Cancellation information
In case authors want to withdraw their abstracts please adhere to the following deadlines:
Withdrawal of accepted presentations before 22 August 2021: your presentation will be removed from the programme and the related extended abstract will not be uploaded to EarthDoc.
Withdrawal of abstracts/presentations after 22 August 2021: your extended abstract will be removed from the online programme. If it was already uploaded to EarthDoc, it will be removed before or after the event.
Please keep in mind that cancellations of presentations after 22 August 2021 are considered as a no-show and you risk being banned as a speaker from presenting at EAGE events for the next 3 years.
Note: EAGE cannot be held liable for any loss, damage, direct, indirect or consequential damage as a result of withdrawal, removal or non-removal of the abstract in any way.
Publication
The accepted extended abstract is published on EarthDoc, which is an official EAGE publications, as submitted. Badly written extended abstracts not only reflect poorly on the authors, but also on the association. Many more people read the accepted extended abstracts than those attending the presentation. Therefore, EAGE will only consider properly written and informative extended abstracts that are submitted in line with the template instructions.
Authors are encouraged to submit their material for publication in one of the journals of the association. Acceptance for the conference does not guarantee acceptance for publication in one of the journals.
Presentations
We aim to host a hybrid event (combination of in person and online presentations).
Please keep in mind that a pre-recorded summary (max 4 - 5 minutes, in video-format) is part of all accepted presentations.
