Abstract & Paper submission

Welcome to the abstract / final paper submission process. Contributions to ICERI2026 (abstracts and papers) should only be submitted online using the myIATED platform.

To ensure that your abstract submission is completed smoothly, we kindly suggest that you first review the following deadlines and dates, and familiarise yourself with the submission guidelines.

Submission guidelines for oral, poster and virtual modalities

Abstract submission - Key points

• Abstracts should be submitted on-line through the MyIATED platform
• To do so, please sign in with your username and password.
• New users should create their MyIATED account first.
• The deadline for abstract submission is July 9th, 2026.
• All abstracts must be submitted and presented in English.
• Abstracts should be within the scope of the conference topic areas.
• Please remember that a single author registration can cover a maximum of 2 abstracts.

Abstract submission - Further guidelines

• The maximum length of the abstract is 3500 characters, including spaces.
• The minimum number of characters for an abstract to be reviewed is 1000, including spaces.
• Avoid citing sources in your abstract. The abstract should be self-contained and fully understandable without reference to other sources.
• Define abbreviations the first time they appear in your text. Example: HEA (Higher Education Area), before being used as an abbreviation only. Abbreviations or their definitions should not be used in the title.
• Complex mathematical formulas should be avoided. For the symbols ≤ or ≥, type instead <= or >=.
• Tables, charts or other graphics may not be included in the abstract and will be deleted by the editors.
• Authors should indicate whether their presentation preference is oral, poster or virtual. The Programme Committee reserves the right to decide on the final allocation and presentation method.
• After registering a new abstract, you will receive an email with your abstract ID. This abstract is still editable.
• You can make corrections or delete editable abstracts, or register new abstracts until the deadline: July 9th, 2026.
• When your abstract is ready, you will be able to send it for evaluation. It will no longer be editable. Abstracts are automatically sent for evaluation after the submission deadline.
• All participants will be notified by September 1st, 2026 about whether their abstracts have been accepted, rejected, or if they need modifications.
• If you run into any problems during the submission process or you do not receive an email confirmation, please contact the Conference Secretary at iceri2026@iated.org.

Final paper submission

• If your abstract is accepted, a Final Paper should be submitted. The length of the final paper should be between 4 and 8 pages (including references). You will be able to download a customized template of the Final Paper which includes your title and author details.
• A paper should contain the description of your study and should follow the general structure of Abstract, Introduction, Methodology, Results, Conclusions, Acknowledgements (if applicable) and References.
• Please note that the title and the list of authors should coincide with those of the accepted abstract.
• All references should be cited according to the Bibliography and Citation Style.
• All papers will be submitted for evaluation. If any minor or major modification is requested, the authors are notified about it and are provided a new deadline to resubmit the proposal.
• Contributions will only be published in the ICERI2026 Proceedings if at least one of the authors of the paper is registered before September 17th, 2026 (this applies to both in-person and virtual participants).
• If you wish to be a session chair, please email your request to iceri2026@iated.org and indicate the topic area in which you are interested. To be a session chair, you must first be a registered participant of the conference.
