CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
Would you like to contribute to our Symposium?
We invite you to become part of the 11th Symposium Driving Simulation by submitting your abstract (max. 3,000 characters, excluding title, and author(s)) in one of the following five categories:
CATEGORY A – Scientific Paper & Lecture
Present your scientific achievements in a formal paper and a 25-minute presentation. Upon acceptance of your abstract, you will receive detailed instructions for preparing the scientific paper. The scientific paper will be peer-reviewed and published in our digital symposium booklet.
CATEGORY B – Industrial Solution Lecture
Share your development approaches, technical challenges, and cutting-edge solutions with our expert audience in a 25-minute presentation. The abstract will be published.
CATEGORY C – Start-up Pitch
If you are part of a start-up in the simulation, ADAS, or autonomous mobility domain, this category is for you. Use a 10-minute pitch to present your vision, solution, or business model and gain visibility with potential partners and investors. The abstract will be published.
CATEGORY D – Project Pitch
This format is tailored for publicly funded collaborative research projects. Present your project’s goals, expected outcomes, and potential for industry adoption in a 10-minute pitch. The abstract will be published.
CATEGORY E – End-User Challenge Pitch
This category gives end users of driving simulation tools—including OEMs, suppliers, and engineering service providers - the opportunity to share their current simulation-related challenges, tool requirements, or unmet needs in a 10-minute pitch. The goal is to foster targeted innovation by technology providers. The title will be published.
All submitted abstracts will be reviewed and selected by a committee of technical experts. Please submit your abstract informally via email to events@asc-s.de by 25 July 2025. Participation as a speaker is free of charge.
All accepted contributions will be published in a digital symposium proceedings booklet.
