General Guidelines

  • All proposals must be submitted online in English. 
  • Proposals must be original and address technology issues or the institutional, business, societal or economic aspects of ITS. 
  • All submissions must include the name, organisation, country and email address of the paper author/SIS & SFS organiser. 
  • SIS & SFS proposals must also include these details of the moderator and at least three confirmed speakers. 
  • All Paper submissions must be in the template on the submission portal. 
  • All session speakers, moderators and paper presenters must register by the announced deadline and pay the appropriate speaker/moderator Congress fee. 
  • Sessions without registered speakers by the given deadline may lose their lots to others from the reserve list. 
  • Acceptance of proposals is not linked to sponsorship, which is negotiated separately. 

Notifications

  • Session organisers will receive the European Programme Committee decisions via email by the stated deadline. 
  • Some organisers may be asked to combine their sessions to avoid duplication. 
  • Speaker confirmations will also be requested. 
  • Conditionally accepted papers will require authors to address the reviewers’ comments before being fully accepted. 
  • Authors of fully accepted papers will have a chance to update them closer to the Congress date. 

For All Submissions

  • Each completed submission will receive an auto-generated acknowledgment email with the ID number and contact details of the submitter. This confirmation of receipt does NOT signify acceptance. 
  • Please note: Speakers who commit to speaking and/or moderating in more than two specialist sessions run the risk of having overlapping schedules, which the Congress organisers may not be able to resolve. 
  • While making your travel arrangements, please note that the specialist sessions will be organised in time slots from 09:00 on Monday 19 May until 16:15 on Wednesday 21 May. The notifications about dates/times will be sent in April 2025. 
  • The organisers will carefully plan the distribution of the different sessions to give the utmost choice to the Congress delegates, moderators and speakers. With a final programme involving more than 400 speakers and moderators, it will be highly unlikely that we will be able to accept any requests for moving sessions from one slot to another.
