11th International Engine Congress 2024
27-02-2024 – 28-02-2024 – Baden-Baden, Germany
The 11th staging of the International Engine Congress represents the start of the second decade for the conference. This gathering of experts from the automotive, engine, and fuel industries, together with representatives from the worlds of research and politics, is a unique event and is now more relevant than ever before. In particular, the political decision within the EU to allow the registration of new vehicles with combustion engines after 2035, provided that they are powered by non-fossil fuels, gives rise to the need for new discussions and new action. It will also be interesting to see how the amendment to the German Climate Change Act, which involves a move away from annual reduction targets per sector toward cross-sectoral regulations, will affect the role of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels and combustion engines in the energy and mobility transition. The final wording of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) and the Euro 7 emissions standards will also have a direct impact in this area.
In addition, global legislation and updated standards, together with industrialization policy and market developments, particularly in Asia and America, will have an influence on the overall readiness to invest in renewable hydrogen and biomass- and electricity-based fuels. What is the potential of a future CO2 circular economy and of the use of synthetic fuels blended to increasingly high levels in existing global fleets? What are the requirements for new combustion engines for cars, trucks and off-highway vehicles?
Effective climate action is only possible if there is competition between electric and molecular technologies in global procurement and value chains and a full, cross-sectoral evaluation of all the viable solutions (life cycle analyses). For this reason, the 2024 congress will focus on geopolitical activities to build up knowledge and increase the industrialization of fuel production. All the many start-ups in this field are very welcome to attend.
This Call for Papers provides information on the main subjects addressed at the congress as well as details on submitting a paper.
We look forward to your proposals and to further discussions with you.
After the conference, your paper will be published as part of the conference proceedings at Springer Vieweg and on the online platforms Springer Link and Springer Professional.

The Program Advisory Boards for the congress will decide on the acceptance of the paper based on the abstract.
You should therefore highlight the essential technical content and its level of innovation. The authors of the papers or poster presentations that have been accepted commit to submit a 1-page summary and a manuscript comprising 12-15 pages for the congress documentation by the closing date mentioned and to present the paper in person. If a speaker is unable to attend, a substitute must be named. The congress documentation will be made available in the download area of our websites and in the digital event platform from the beginning of the event. After the congress, your paper will be published as part of the congress proceedings at Springer Vieweg and on the online platforms Springer Link and Springer Professional.
One presenting author per lecture may participate free of charge in the congress. For a poster presentation, the participation fee is 250 € plus VAT for the main author. Travel costs will not be reimbursed.
