Paper Submission / Review

Submission Site

The submission platform is reachable here: https://ceaseurognc2026.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en 

Note the instructions upon reaching this page to create an account with which you can then submit your contribution for EuroGNC 2026. 

Requirements and Formatting

Please make sure to use the conference template provided on the Instructions for Authors page already for the full draft papers. As additional information (e.g. paper number, conference banner, copyright information) will be overlaid to the paper, not respecting the template and instruction can lead to issues at a later stage.

NEW: as many requests for extension were received and with aim of balancing the need for organising good and helpful reviews while providing additional time for authors to prepare their manuscript, we decided to offer a two-step procedure for the initial submission. Both steps are required: “2 steps” not “2 options”!

Step #1 (until Sept. 30th): extended 2-page abstracts (or more)

An extended abstract is a a single-column, at least 2-pages, self-contained description of the problem, motivation, approach and if possible preliminary (or description of expected) results. Within the 2-pages is included the title, the name/affiliation of the author(s), a one-paragraph abstract, the above content, and a short bibliography (with only the key references).

The aim of this extended abstract is to allow contributors of regular papers to have one more month to write the full draft paper, while permitting the organizers to anticipate the review to compensate for this extension. Authors who already have more than this 2-page abstract (e.g. already have a full-draft or almost) should not do extra work to make a separate 2-page abstract, but can simply upload their current draft instead.

Step#2 (until Oct. 30th): draft paper

Just as announced and specified in the instructions for authors and guideline for preparation of the EuroGNC papers (so effectively one month extension). Authors need to have submitted a 2-page abstract by Sept. 30th.

Special Sessions

Special sessions may be proposed by sending an e-mail to the conference chair.

Reviewers / Registration

Reviewers can access the papers that were assigned to them via the same link than authors can submit their papers (cf. above). They undergo the same registration process (if they are not already registered as author) and later on the conference admins will convert their account to a “reviewer” account.

Licensing

Authors understand that the final paper will be published in Open-Access under the CC-BY-4.0 license and the following copyright information will be printed on every page of the final papers:

Except where otherwise noted, content of this paper is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

The reproduction and distribution with attribution of the entire paper or of individual pages, in electronic or printed form, including any material under non-CC-BY 4.0 licenses is hereby granted by the authors and respective copyright owners.

Please understand that to simplify the handling of the papers, no case-by-case license or copyright handling is done from the conference organisation. The license condition chosen is pretty standard for Open-Access publications. The LaTeX template (cf. 2026 template) already  includes this copyright information, it will be added later on for papers prepared with other tools (e.g. Microsoft Word).
