First Call for Papers

Anyone wishing to present a paper at the Lift & Escalator Symposium should first submit an abstract of up to 300 words.

The abstract should include the authors' names, affiliations and email addresses, the title of the paper, the objectives, the methodology used, the main results and the conclusions of the research. Abstracts should not include the name of a product or service: the organisers welcome papers on applied technologies, but "advertorials will not be accepted".
