Paper Submission
Submission is a five-step online process: fill in the online form and upload a one-page summary in PDF format. A confirmation message is sent online and by email upon successful submission.
Accepted one-page summaries (oral or poster) will be published online by Optica Publishing Group and in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Authors must provide the required copyright approval during submission.
Papers should be submitted exclusively to CLEO®/Europe or EQEC. The Programme Committees may transfer a paper between CLEO®/Europe and EQEC where appropriate. In such cases, the authors will be notified.
Authors will be notified whether their papers have been accepted in March 2027. The date and time for presentation will be determined after the programme committee has reviewed the papers.
Notifications will be sent to the email address given during the electronic submission.
