Preparing your abstract
Proposals must be written in English, regardless of the interface language. Scientific content is not automatically translated.
A personal account will be required to submit a proposal. Creating an account will be separate from paid conference registration: no prior payment will be required to submit.
- Provide the title and abstract, then list coauthors for joint work; leave the coauthor field blank if you are the sole author.
- Choose one research topic from the reference list. The committee may adjust the topic retained for the programme.
- Prepare keywords describing your work. Field limits and provisional options are set out in the submission guidelines.
- If the organisers or a sponsor have invited you to a special session, provide the session name. This declaration does not constitute acceptance of the abstract.
Abstract submissions are scheduled to open on 15 December 2026.
One proposal per person
Each person may submit at most one proposal. Updates will retain the same submission and identifier; rejection of a proposal will not allow a second one to be submitted.
You will be able to edit your proposal until the abstract submission closing time. From that moment, authors will no longer be able to create or edit proposals: the title, abstract, coauthors, topic, keywords and special-session declaration will remain available in read-only form.
Once the service opens, a successful submission will provide an identifier and a summary. The decision status and retained topic will be available in your personal account.
A special-session invitation, an acceptance decision and assignment to the programme are separate steps.
