How the committee works

  • Each paper is reviewed by at least two committee members, who do not know the identity of the authors.
  • Reviewers are drawn from the committee but also include conference authors — by submitting, all authors commit to acting as reviewers.
  • The committee meets, virtually, in February and March 2027 to consolidate review outcomes.
  • The chairs of the Scientific Committee work with the conference chairs to assemble the final programme and assign discussants.

Conflicts of interest

Reviewers are required to declare any conflict of interest (co-authorship, supervision, institutional affiliation) before accepting a paper for review. Papers in conflict are reassigned to other committee members.

Ethics & integrity

All submissions are subject to a strict academic-integrity policy. Plagiarism, duplicate submission and undisclosed AI-generated content without acknowledgement are grounds for desk rejection. See Submission Guidelines for details.
