Themes, Topics and Submission of Abstracts

For detailed information on the Conference Topics and Submission of Abstracts please see para C, D, E, F & G of the Conference Announcement and Call for Papers, available under Related Resources. 

The IAEA welcomes high-quality contributions that fall under one of the following topics listed below:

• Regulatory competence: thinking and acting as an effective regulator
• Agility: Growing as a regulator to address emerging challenges
• Strengthening connection in the regulatory ‘ecosystem’

Submission of Abstracts

Abstracts (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 an abstract in electronic format using the conference’s file submission system (IAEA-INDICO), which is accessible from the conference web page. The abstract can be submitted through this system from 6 May 2025 until 1 September 2025. Specifications for the layout will be available on IAEA-INDICO. The system for electronic submission of abstracts, IAEA-INDICO, is the sole mechanism for submission of contributed abstracts. Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts as early as possible. The IAEA will not accept submissions via email.

In addition, authors must register online using the InTouch+ platform (see Section H). 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 1 September 2025.

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

Acceptance of Abstracts

The Secretariat reserves the right to exclude abstracts 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 1 December 2025 as to whether their submission has been accepted, either orally or as a poster, for presentation at the conference. Accepted abstracts will also be reproduced in an unedited electronic compilation of abstracts which will be made available to all registered participants of the conference.
