Special Sessions: Abstract/Paper Submission for Invited Speakers
Contributions can be either a 4-6 pages paper in the IEEE style or a short abstract (1 page). All papers/abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the Technical Program Committee. Accepted abstracts will be included in the Conference Proceedings but will NOT be considered for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.
- Special session paper submission window: February 1, 2026 to March 15, 2026
- Special session abstract submission window: February 1, 2026 to April 10, 2026
* NOTE regarding Submission:
- This section is for the invited speakers in Special Sessions ONLY.
- If you want to submit a contributed abstract/paper to one of the special sessions (open tracks), please use THIS LINK instead.
- If you wish to submit a Regular abstract/paper, please use THIS LINK instead.
- Use the code provided by the Session Organizer to classify the abstract to the associated special session.
How to Submit an Abstract or Paper
Abstract / Paper should be submitted by a designated “Corresponding Author” with his/her PIN according to the steps below:
- Go to the Online Submission Site.
- Follow the link to “Submit a Contribution to NANO 2026” to the right of the NANO 2026 listing.
- Select one of the following as the type of submission.
“Special Session Abstract” if submitting a one-page abstract, OR
“Special Session Paper” if submitting a full paper (4-6 pages) - Fill in the information about “Title, Authors*, Keywords, and Abstract” (NOTE: Use the code provided by the Session Organizer to classify the abstract to the associated Special Session); and then continue to the next page.
- Upload your “Abstract”** or “Paper” in a PDF, MS-Word, or Latex (Note: The main.tex file should be called root.tex) Images must be in jpg or png format.
*NOTE regarding PINs for PaperCept
- “Authors” should be entered through their PINs and every author must have a PIN. You may use this link to search your or someone else’s PIN.
- If you have submitted papers to prior NANO conferences: You should have your PIN. You can retrieve your or co-authors’ existing PIN or set/reset your PASSWORD in the PIN Wizard at the submission site.
- If you have never submitted papers to NANO conferences: You should set your PIN and PASSWORD in the PIN Wizard at the submission site. The same should be done for the authors without PINs.
- Authors should prepare their submissions using the abstract template or full paper template.
*NOTE regarding how to Update an Existing Submission
- Go to the Online Submission Site.
- Log in with your PIN and PASSWORD, and go to the author workspace for NANO 2026.
- Follow the link to “Update Submission Information” or to “Re-upload” the file.
