Tips for Submitting to the Call for Papers

Only one submission as presenting author will be allowed for the Call for Papers for IPC 2025. Abstract submitters may however be listed as co-author on other submissions.  The one abstract limit is to encourage individuals to submit their best work and keep the work of reviewing and selecting submissions manageable for the reviewers, session organisers and theme conveners.  

Abstracts should be submitted to either a theme topic or a session topic.

All submissions will be reviewed by 2 anonymous reviewers before they are considered for inclusion in a session by a Session organizer or a Theme convener. Papers submitted directly to a session topic that are not included in a session will also be considered by the Theme convener for inclusion in one of the theme sessions. 
 

To allow as many colleagues as possible to present their work at IPC 2025, only one appearance as presenting author of a paper or a poster in the regular programme will be allowed. A presenter can however also serve as a session chair or discussant. Co-author roles will not be counted towards the one appearance rule, nor will roles as an invited speaker in a Research Leader or invited session (including a Plenary).

The presenting author must register for the conference and pay the registration fee to hold the paper on the programme.  An individual registration fee will cover only one oral or poster presentation.  

Conference Registration Fees for IPC 2025 

*Loyal members are defined as those who continuously paid their dues since the last conference (IPC2021) or who paid for 4 years in 2022 or 2023.

It is not too late to update your membership!

If you have let your membership lapse, you can still qualify for the loyal member fee for IPC 2025 by selecting the option to cover 4 years of membership dues in 2023. The multiple year dues option includes a discount over the regular annual membership dues rate.
