Full Paper Submission

Authors of accepted abstracts have the option to submit a full paper. The deadline for full paper submission is 5 May 2025 16 May 2025 (deadline extended).

Note that submission of a full paper is not required for presentation at the conference, but papers submitted for publication will only enter peer review if presented at the conference. For posters, one of the authors must present it during the Poster Pitch Session.

Submissions are limited to scientific (research) papers. All submitted papers will undergo a further peer review process.

Publication

Accepted papers will be published in a dedicated volume of the Open Access journal Engineering Proceedings (ISSN 2673-4591) and in the Conference Proceedings e-Book (with ISBN), both published by MDPI. The Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license will apply, meaning that authors retain copyright and the content can be reused with attribution. All published papers will be assigned a digital object identifier (DOI) and citable.

General Paper Guidelines

Papers should cover high-quality scientific work and create an advance towards the current knowledge that is of interest to the scientific community. Papers should not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. Papers must be original and include references where appropriate. Specialized software will be applied to identify potential plagiarism, including self-plagiarism.

In case a paper is deemed to be of a commercial nature, the conference organisers reserve the right to reject the paper.

Formatting Guidelines

Papers should be written in clear English language (MDPI publishes in US English). Paper length must be between 4 and 9 pages. Note that this refers to the total page count (including abstract, references, appendices, etc.). The paper length requirement must be strictly complied with.

You can download the template to be used for scientific papers in Microsoft Word format here and in LaTeX format here. Papers must strictly comply to these templates provided by MDPI. Please note that all sections of the template (e.g. Institutional Review Board Statement) are absolutely required, even if followed by a “not applicable” statement.
