The International Federation for Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering (IFHTSE) is dedicated to promoting the international exchange in the field. As a contribution to this end, the Federation will invite some researchers under 35 years of age to participate for free at the the IFHTSE World Congress next year. The Federation will reimburse them for the travel, accomodation, and attendance cost provided they present a paper in the World Congress.

- a travel plan indicating the costs they expect for travel, accomodation, and registration fee.
The files shall be emailed to info@awt.online.org until January 10, 2026, under the reference: „Free participation at the World Congress“. The IFHTSE Executive Committee will then select the candidates and inform them.
The candidates shall also submit an abstract for the World Congress to the terms on
