Biosurfactants 2027 recognises outstanding contributions with awards funded by our journal partners. Awards do not affect abstract selection, and awarded manuscripts undergo each journal’s regular peer review.

Open Chemistry Awards

Open Chemistry (De Gruyter Brill) will grant two Open Chemistry Awards to outstanding contributions presented at Biosurfactants 2027: one for the best oral presentation and one for the best poster.

Prize: a certificate and a voucher for free publishing in Open Chemistry (full waiver of the Article Processing Charge). Two vouchers in total, one per award.

Eligibility: the presenting author of an oral or poster contribution who presents in person at Biosurfactants 2027. The manuscript must fit the scope of Open Chemistry.

Selection: the Biosurfactants 2027 Evaluation Committee, appointed by the Scientific Committee, assesses novelty, scientific soundness, clarity of presentation and fit with the journal’s scope. Committee members do not assess contributions from their own groups or co-authors.

Announcement: at the closing ceremony on 17 September 2027. Winners will be listed on this page and contacted by e-mail.

Using the voucher: valid until 31 December 2028, also for a new submission if the first manuscript is rejected. The awardee must be an author of the manuscript but need not be the corresponding author. The manuscript undergoes Open Chemistry’s regular peer review, and the waiver applies upon acceptance.

20% APC discount for all participants

Open Chemistry offers all Biosurfactants 2027 participants a 20% discount on the Article Processing Charge for manuscripts submitted by 31 December 2027, even if they are accepted in 2028. To claim it, mention Biosurfactants 2027 in your cover letter. The discount cannot be combined with other discounts.
