Submission of Synopses

Synopses (approximately 500 to 600 words on one or a maximum of two A4 pages, may contain any charts, graphs, figures and references) should give enough information on the content of the proposed paper to enable the Programme Committee to evaluate it. Anyone wishing to present at the conference must submit a synopsis in electronic format using the conference’s file submission system (IAEA-INDICO), which is accessible from the conference web page (see "Related Reesources"). The synopsis can be submitted through this system until 31 October 2025. Specifications for the layout will be available on IAEA-INDICO. The system for electronic submission of synopsis, IAEA-INDICO, is the sole mechanism for submission of contributed synopsis. Authors are encouraged to submit synopsis as early as possible. The IAEA will not accept submissions via email.

In addition, authors must register online using the InTouch+ platform. The online registration together with the auto-generated Participation Form (Form A) and Form for Submission of a Paper (Form B) must reach the IAEA no later than 31 October 2025.

IMPORTANT: The Programme Committee will consider uploaded synopses only if these two forms have been received by the IAEA through the established official channels.

Acceptance of Synopses

The Secretariat reserves the right to exclude synopses that do not comply with its technical or scientific quality standards and that do not apply to one of the topics listed in Section C.

Authors will be informed by 31 January 2026 as to whether their submission has been accepted, either orally or as a poster, for presentation at the conference. Accepted synopses will also be reproduced in an unedited electronic compilation of synopses which will be made available to all registered participants of the conference.

Submission of Full Papers

Authors of accepted synopses will be requested to submit a full paper in Word format, of about 5 to 10 pages in length, through the IAEA-INDICO file submission system. Specifications for the layout and electronic format of the contributed papers will be made available on IAEA-INDICO.

The IAEA reserves the right to exclude papers that do not comply with its quality standards, those that do not apply to one of the topics outlined in Section C and those that do not meet the expectations based on the information in the synopsis.

The deadline for electronic submission of the full papers as Word files is 22 June 2026. The IAEA will not accept papers submitted after the deadline.

The IAEA will notify authors of its completed review process of the full papers by 31 October 2026. If needed, revised papers will have to be submitted through IAEA-INDICO by 30 November 2026.

IMPORTANT: The system for electronic submission of papers, IAEA-INDICO, is the sole mechanism for submission of contributed papers. Authors are encouraged to submit papers as early as possible. The IAEA will not accept submissions via email.

Proceedings

Following the conference, the IAEA will publish a summary report. The proceedings, including full papers, will be made available online.
