Organizers invite researchers from academia and R&D organizations to submit original, unpublished, and high-quality full research papers aligned with the conference’s thematic tracks. We also invite Industry professionals to contribute by submitting insightful case studies showcasing their R&D innovations—offering valuable perspectives and real-world relevance.

Submission Process

Authors may choose either Type A: Presentation Only or Type B: Presentation and Publication, depending on whether they wish to present their work only or also have it considered for publication.
For both submission types, authors must first prepare and submit a one-page extended abstract using the “Abstract Template” provided below.

Type B is intended for authors who wish to present their work at InDecarb-2026 and submit a full-length paper for possible publication in a special issue of a quality journal or a lecture notes/proceedings series associated with the conference.
