Paper Submission

Articles and Conference proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published by RILEM under Springer's RILEM Bookseries and indexed under Scopus. Each paper will receive a unique doi.

Delegates are welcome to submit a full paper (will open soon). Please note that to smooth the process, the submission of an abstract does not precede the submission of a full paper. This is a one-step-only submission process (followed by a reviewing process).

The full paper will use a Springer conference template and submissions may be in Word or Latex

• a .docx template is available as part of the submission process. If you would prefer a macro-enabled template or one that is designed for an Apple machine then please download the Springer template
• for a suitable LaTeX template, please see an example from Overleaf

The papers must be formatted according to the template guidelines, or they risk not being included in the final proceedings.

The full papers are limited to ten pages (including the abstract, main text, references, and any appendices) and must be a minimum of six pages for standard delegates. Invited speakers and our keynote speakers will be permitted longer articles.

Extended Abstracts

The second option is to submit an extended abstract (2 pages) with the same template as for full paper. These abstracts will not be available online nor public, but available only for the conference participants.

Note that based on the number of submissions, extended abstracts may not grant an oral presentation but are more likely to be associated with a poster.

To limit confusion with full papers, extended abstract submissions are not available before October 2025. The deadline for submission is March 2026.
