The call is now closed.

- scientific methodology
- results obtained
Format
Text only, 450 to 600 words, no images. No specific layout is required, but please structure the abstract as detailed above; the abstract is to be copied directly into the corresponding field of the submission form (without title or authors). Only complete abstracts that are within the scope of the conference will be reviewed.
Language

Submission
Through the CISBAT Conference Management System.
Hybrid Mode
Please note that the conference will be hybrid. Either remote or on-site presentation of accepted contributions will be possible. The presentation mode is to be indicated at the paper submission stage.
REVIEW & SELECTION CRITERIA
The abstracts will be evaluated by an international expert panel in a double blind review procedure. Acceptance or refusal will be based on criteria such as quality of content, significance, originality, relevance and clarity of expression. The programming team of the scientific committee will take a preliminary decision on acceptance and the presentation framework of the contributions (oral, poster) based on the reviewers' recommendations and as a function of programming constraints, to be confirmed subject to the full paper meeting expected standards.
FULL PAPERS
Authors of abstracts accepted by the scientific committee (oral and poster presentation) are invited to submit a full paper of up to six A4 pages.
The deadline for paper submission is 30 March 2025. Papers will be checked for language, form and content by one peer reviewer (two at least if rejection or change of presentation mode are considered), with additional verification by an Associate Editor. By default, all accepted papers - independent of their presentation mode - will be published in a CISBAT 2025 Special Issue of IOP's JOURNAL OF PHYSICS Conference Series, indexed, among other, in ISI Web of Science, Scopus and EI Compendex, subject to active conference participation of at least one of the authors, payment of the conference fee and acceptance of the terms of the Proceedings Publication Licence (CC BY). IOP Publishers reserve the right to exclude a paper if considered inappropriate of if a large part of the content has been published before. Authors can opt out of publication in Journal of Physics Conference Series, but need to submit a six-page paper nevertheless. It will then be distributed to conference participants only with a caveat that it is not to be cited and that authors retain full copyright.
PRESENTATIONS
Papers will be presented on-site or remotely during oral and poster sessions.
Posters will receive excellent exposure both on-site and on the hybrid conference platform, where they will be present both with a pdf of the poster and a short video presentation. There will be a dedicated chat per poster.
Authors will be asked to confirm at paper submission stage if they intend to present the paper remotely or on-site. Should they change their mind at a later date, they are kindly requested to inform the conference manager (participation mode indicated at registration is not linked to presentation mode).
CONDITIONS
By submitting a full paper the authors agree that at least one of the authors will be available to present it at the conference. They also agree that the paper can be made available as part of the proceedings on paper, electronic supports and the internet. Authors agree to a CC-BY licence agreement in which they certify among other that the paper contains their original work, and that it has not been published before. Should authors wish to renounce publication of their paper in the online Journal of Physics: Conference Series, we kindly ask them to contact us by email to cisbat@epfl.ch. The paper will then only be published in the pre-proceedings made available to conference participants only. We will be happy to answer any related questions.
Authors are requested to register for the conference when submitting the paper. The conference fee will be fully refunded should a paper be refused.
Accepted papers will be published online in a CISBAT 2025 Special Issue of IOP's JOURNAL OF PHYSICS Conference Series, an open access and widely indexed journal. Publication is targeted for 30 November 2025 at the latest.
