Authors whose synopsis has been approved for development into a full paper will be invited by early July 2025 to provide a typescript of up to 6 pages (including figures and tables) by the deadline of Friday 17th October 2025. All successful papers shall be presented in person by the author or by a member of a group of authors at the conference. All authors in attendance at the conference shall be a registered delegate. Author instructions on the lay-out of the papers and syntax required will be published on the INSUCON 2026 website. Final selection will be based on the full paper. A provisional programme and registration form will be published in January 2026 on the above website and will also be sent out by e-mail. All synopses and papers must be submitted in English and the Conference will be entirely in English.
