International Conference on Nuclear Security: Shaping the Future - Abstract and Paper Submission

Abstract and Paper Submission

Call for Papers

Contributions on the topics listed in the Conference Announcement under Section C are welcome as oral or poster presentations. All submissions, apart from invited papers, must present original work, which has not been published elsewhere.

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

Specifications for the layout and electronic format of the contributed papers and for the preparation of posters will be made available on IAEA-INDICO.

Submission of Abstracts 

Abstracts (approximately 150 to 200 words on one printed A4 page, 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). The abstract can be submitted through this system until 16 October 2023 (deadline extended).  

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 15 December 2023. The Programme Committee will consider uploaded abstracts only if these two forms have been received by the IAEA through the established official channels (see Section H).

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 the Conference Announcement under Section C.

Authors will be informed by 29 December 2023 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. 

Submission of Full Papers 

Authors of accepted abstracts will be requested to submit a full paper in Word format, of about 7 to 10 pages in length. A compilation of full papers (in electronic format) will be made available to participants at registration. 

Full papers must also be submitted through the IAEA-INDICO file submission system in Word format. Submitting the paper in the indicated electronic format is mandatory. Specifications for the layout and electronic format of the contributed papers and for the preparation of posters will be made available on IAEA-INDICO.

The IAEA reserves the right to exclude papers that do not comply with its quality standards and those that do not apply to one of the topics outlined in Section C above and those that do not meet the expectations based on the information in the abstract. The deadline for electronic submission of the full papers as Word files is 1 March 2024. The IAEA will not accept papers submitted after the deadline.

Proceedings 

The proceedings will be made available online.
