Scientific Program

How the conference themes are structured

ECMIESIA 2027 is designed as a broad international scientific conference. Sessions may include keynote lectures, invited talks, oral presentations, poster presentations, technical discussions, industry case studies, and interdisciplinary sessions. Abstracts that bridge multiple tracks are welcome and may be placed in the most appropriate session after review.
