ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

👉Submit your Abstract HERE

Submit your abstract by 11 March 2026. 

GENERAL INFORMATION & DEADLINES 

• Abstracts must be submitted electronically via the Online Portal.
• The abstract submission deadlines depend on the authors’ presentation preference and are as follows:
  • Oral Presentation: 11 March 2026
  • Poster Presentation: 1 June 2026
  • Late-Breaking Poster: 30 July 2026

The submitted abstracts can be modified until 11 March 2026 for oral presentations and 1 June 2026 for poster presentations to be included in the preliminary program. After the submission deadlines, all abstracts will automatically be considered final.

Abstracts received by e-mail or after the deadlines will not be considered for the ISC 2026 Symposium.

• Abstracts must be submitted under one of the designated scientific topics, categorized into three parallel program tracks.
• The abstracts with oral presentation preference will be reviewed by the ISC 2026 Scientific Committee, which will assess both their formal aspects and scientific content. The abstracts with poster preference will be reviewed by the Local Organising Committee, which will decide which abstracts are accepted and may reconsider the final presentation type if necessary.
• All presenting authors who selected the oral presentation preference will receive an acceptance or rejection notification via e-mail by 21 April 2026. Authors who submit their abstracts with a poster preference by 5 May 2026 will be notified of the outcome by 12 May 2026 and will have the opportunity to register at the early-bird rate until 15 May 2026. 
  All the other abstracts with poster preference submitted after 5 May 2026 will be notified of the outcome by 16 June 2026, and by 11 August 2026 for late-breaking poster presentations.
• Accepted and registered abstracts will be published in the Abstract Book. Please ensure that your abstract has been carefully checked for correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and formal structure. Authors are fully responsible for the abstract content. The organizer reserves the right to edit the accepted abstracts prior to publication if necessary. Please note that late-breaking posters will not be included in the electronic Abstract Book.
• All oral presenting authors are required to register by 15 May 2026. Any oral presentation whose presenting author is not registered by this date will be withdrawn from the program. The author registration deadline is 30 June 2026 for accepted poster authors and 18 August 2026 for accepted late-breaking poster authors.
• The number of abstracts submitted per presenting author is limited to one. Once the submission is completed, the system will not allow additional abstracts to be submitted. You may be listed as a co-author on other abstracts but not as the presenting author.
• Submission of an abstract constitutes a commitment to attend the symposium or to send a qualified substitute who is capable of presenting the work and answering related questions.
• An invitation to submit an abstract does not constitute an offer to cover travel, accommodation, or registration expenses associated with the symposium.

ABSTRACT FORMATTING GUIDELINES

• All abstracts must be written in English.
• A preferred presentation type must be selected during submission from the following options:
  • Oral Presentation
  • Oral Presentation or Poster Presentation
  • Poster Presentation
• The abstract title is limited to 180 characters and must use Sentence case – capitalizing only the first word and any proper nouns, while keeping all other words in lowercase (e.g., This is the title of my abstract).
• Up to 16 authors may be listed for one abstract (including the presenting author).
• The first author listed is considered the main author.
• The abstract text must not exceed 400 words.
• Figures or images are not permitted in the abstract text.
• Adding references is optional. If you wish to include references in your abstract, please note that they count toward the abstract word limit, and you are requested to use the following citation style (see example):
  • [1] J. van der Geer, T. Handgraaf, R.A. Lupton, J. Sci. Commun. 163 (2020) 51 – 59.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

A Unique Opportunity for Early-Career Scientists at ISC 2026 – Deadline Approaching

The upcoming abstract submission deadline for oral presentations at ISC 2026 marks more than just the close of the standard submission phase. It also represents the final opportunity for early-career scientists to present within the special Tutorials and Young Speakers sessions.

Each evening of ISC 2026 will feature three parallel Tutorials and Young Speakers sessions. Every session will begin with a 45-minute tutorial lecture delivered by an established expert, followed by three short 15-minute presentations by young scientists.

In total, this creates 27 presentation slots dedicated to early-career researchers — for many, this may be their first opportunity to speak at a major international conference. The format is designed to support the next generation of scientists, providing visibility, experience, and valuable networking opportunities.

If you are considering active participation, now is the time to submit your abstract.
