SCIENTIFIC TRACK (WITH REBUTTAL PHASE)
Submission Deadline Extended to April 29 (23:59:59 AoE)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The EuroXR association (www.euroxr.org) would like to kindly invite you to contribute to the 23rd EuroXR International Conference - EuroXR 2026.
EuroXR 2026 will be hosted and co-organized by the Institute for Research on Human-Centered Technology (Human-Tech), Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, located in Valencia, Spain. As in the previous year, our International Conference will take place in person, so you can expect a rich experience.
Besides invited keynote talks and plenary sessions for Scientific track, Applications track, and Posters and Demos track, we will also welcome this year joint events related to several European projects in progress.

TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS

For all conference tracks, we seek original, high-quality contributions in all areas of eXtended Reality (XR) technologies, and thus related to Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and 3D User Interfaces. In these areas, submissions may address a wide range of topics of interest, as listed in https://www.euroxr.org/conference-2026/topics
Please note that the calls for contributions for each category will not be open at the same time.

Scientific track: [OPEN NOW] Papers (Long, Medium, or Short) must describe novel research results and will be published in a Springer LNCS volume (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). For your convenience, please find below:

indexing information of LNCS series is available on this Springer Webpage.
details on the Scientific track call, guidelines, and access to the submission system here: https://www.euroxr.org/conference-2026/calls-and-guidelines/scientific-track

Authors of the top papers will get an opportunity to submit an extended version to the journal Computers & Graphics, which is one of the longest-standing journals in computer graphics.

Applications track: [NOT OPEN YET] Extended abstracts, which are meant to describe practical use cases of XR technologies.
Posters track: [NOT OPEN YET] Posters may present preliminary results of research or application projects or work-in-progress. They will be submitted as an extended abstract.
Demos track: [NOT OPEN YET] Demos may accompany any type of submission or may be submitted independently. They are submitted as an extended abstract.
Extended abstracts (2-4 pages) of accepted Application talks, or accepted Posters and Demos, will be published in an ISBN-registered proceedings, edited by VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. The calls for those kinds of papers will be announced later.

SUBMISSIONS TO THE SCIENTIFIC TRACK

This year, two procedures are possible for Scientific paper submissions, which allow authors to choose between two different deadlines.
Submissions before the first deadline (April 25 April 29) will get a reviewing procedure that includes a rebuttal phase after receiving the initial review reports. This will allow the authors to clarify potential misunderstandings and to resubmit a revised paper before the final decision of the reviewers.
Alternatively, authors can choose to submit to the second deadline (June 24), but will not benefit from the advantage provided by the rebuttal procedure.

In both cases, all submissions will be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers.

Important Dates for the Scientific Track (each deadline is 23:59:59 AoE)

* Scientific paper submission with rebuttal procedure: Apr 25 April 29, 2026
* First notification for papers submitted with the rebuttal procedure: May 29, 2026
* Deadline for revised papers in the rebuttal procedure: June 24, 2026
* Scientific paper submission without rebuttal procedure: June 24, 2026
* Final notification for all scientific papers (with or without Rebuttal): July 28, 2026
* Camera-ready submission of accepted Scientific papers: September 7, 2026
* Deadlines for the Application, Posters and Demo tracks: TBA later

Three sizes of papers are possible in the scientific track:

* Long paper: 14-20 pages (EXCLUDING REFERENCES) in the Springer format (about eight pages in traditional two-column format). If accepted, the authors will have about 30 minutes of presentation (including questions) during one of the scientific sessions of the conference.
* Medium paper: 8-12 pages (EXCLUDING REFERENCES) in Springer's format. If accepted, the authors will have about 20 minutes of presentation (including questions) during one of the scientific sessions of the conference.
* Short paper: 4-6 pages (EXCLUDING REFERENCES) Springer format. This type is meant for work-in-progress, position papers, and similar content. If accepted, the authors will have about 10 minutes of presentation (including questions) during one of the scientific sessions of the conference.
