Call for Special Sessions

Special Sessions (SSs) provide the opportunity to focus on emerging topics, which are not reflected in the list of conference main technical tracks or represent a specific working field. SSs focused on reporting innovations and breakthroughs in highly specialized topic areas (within the conference’s scope) will be organized. Professionals in the areas of industrial electronics are invited to propose SSs to be held at IECON 2025.

IECON 2025 is organized into “IECON Green Tech”, “IECON ICT & AI in Industry”, and “IECON Integration, Control & Robotics”, and SSs will follow the same structure to reach the appropriate audiences.

Prospective organizers must submit to the respective chairs the following information using the corresponding template.

• Title and subject of the SS.
• Name(s), email(s), and affiliation(s) of the organizers. Multi-nationals preferred and multi-institutional mandatory.
• Brief description (no more of 200 words) of the contents, highlighting the innovative aspects of the proposal and its relevance for IECON audience.
• Short bio(s) and picture(s) of the proposer(s), including the contributions (e.g., publications or previous SS experience) related to the topic of the SS.
• A list of potential authors and affiliations (at least 10). Multi-nationals and multi-institutional mandatory.
• A list of potential reviewers and affiliations (at least 20). Multi-nationals and multi-institutional mandatory.

Once an SS is approved, organizers must publicize it among researchers and practitioners in the field and attract sufficient number of papers. Papers submitted to SSs will undergo the same review process as regular papers. Organizers are responsible for managing the review process, assuring at least three quality reviews per paper. This includes selection of reviewers from their peers.

Conference Registration: At least one organizer of the SS is expected to register for and attend the conference, as well as chair the corresponding session(s). One complimentary full registration will be provided to successful SSs with at least 6 papers not authored by any of the organizers.

Conflict of Interest: Before starting the review process, SS organizers must explicitly declare papers which present a conflict of interest for them. A conflict of interest arises where the judgement of a paper quality can be influenced by the organizers being authors or knowing some of the authors. To ensure independent reviews, this conflict must be marked as such in the submission system and the SS Co-Chairs must be notified so that they can arrange the review process.

Restrictions: Organizers must take into account that: (1) An individual cannot be (co-)author of more than two papers submitted to the same SS. (2) Papers from organizers cannot exceed 60% of the contents of the SS.
