Call for submissions 

Author information – submitting an abstract

Those wishing to present at CIRED 2026 Seoul Workshop are to submit either an abstract for consideration by the Conference’s Organising and Technical Programme Committees.

Abstracts should focus on real business case studies/scenarios, innovative tools and techniques and report on work completed or nearing final stages, or efforts that have concluded with an important outcome of interest. 

Please do not submit any sales pitches as they will be rejected. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please email JessicaGriffiths@theiet.org.

Successful paper authors will have their paper(s) published on the IET Digital Library and IEEE Xplore and submitted for indexing in IET Inspec, Ei Compendex and Scopus Elsevier, increasing citations and influence that extends beyond the conference.

We aim for a 16-week turnaround time from conference end date to publication, providing all authors submit the requested documentation by the deadlines provided.

The working language of the conference is English. 

CIRED 2026 Seoul Workshop will be in a physical format; all authors will be expected to attend the conference to present. There will be no virtual presentation options.
