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, indexing information of LNCS series is available on this Springer Webpage:  

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.

• Application track: [NOT OPEN YET] Extended abstracts, which are meant to describe practical use cases of XR technologies

• Poster 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.

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) 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, 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

TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS

Submission Guidelines

Please, read carefully the Call for Contributions where the types of contribution and the expected length of the papers are described together with important dates and a description of the reviewing process.

Submissions have to be uploaded to the management system of Springer (Meteor) here: (Open Now)

Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published. A manuscript is considered to have been previously published if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, magazine, book or conference proceedings that is reliably and permanently available afterwards in print or electronic form to non-attendees, regardless of the language of that publication. A manuscript identical or substantially similar in content (in its entirety or in part) to one submitted to EuroXR 2025 should not be simultaneously under consideration for another conference or journal during any part of the review process, from the submission deadline until final notifications of decisions are emailed to the authors.

In case of acceptance, scientific papers will be published in a Springer LNCS volume (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), and at least one author is expected to present the paper in person at the conference.

PAPER FORMATING 

Authors should consult Springer’s Instructions for Authors of Proceedings and use either the LaTeX or the Word templates provided on the authors’ page for the preparation of their papers. For your convenience, Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf. 

To allow for a double-blind peer reviewing process, please make your submissions fully anonymous (no author names, nor affiliation, only anonymous self-references). Relevant previous work by the authors should be cited in the third person to preserve anonymity. Papers which are not anonymous will be automatically desk-rejected.

CAMERA READY INSTRUCTIONS

Authors will have to sign the Consent-to-Publish form, once the camera-ready version of accepted papers will be uploaded. This can be done online directly in the paper submission system, Meteor

Authors of accepted contributions will have to prepare a camera-ready file set. This set is composed of:

• Camera-ready file (PDF), 

• Full source files (i.e. Latex file(s) and all the image files, or the full Word file),

• Online signature of the Springer Consent-to-Publish form. 

• Videos and other electronic supplementary material, which will be made available in SpringerLink.

Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs with their names and affiliations. We also kindly ask all authors to adhere to Springer’s Code of Conduct.

For further information, please don’t hesitate to contact the Scientific Program Chairs of EuroXR 2025.
