Abstract and Paper Submission

Submission of Synopses

Anyone wishing to present a contribution during the conference must submit a synopsis of maximum two pages (A4 PDF) including figures, tables, and references (see the attached Annex B – Guidelines for Authors) through IAEA?INDICO. Instructions on how to upload the synopses will be made available on IAEA-INDICO in pdf format, which will be accessible through the IAEA conference web page (see Section P). All synopses must be submitted through this system between 10?February and 16 March 2025, midnight (Central European Time). Synopses submitted out of the submission time will not be considered under any circumstances. No other form of submission will be accepted.

IMPORTANT: The synopses will be considered by the Programme Committee only if governmental approval (designation) has been received by 28 March 2025.

Authors will be notified by email by 15 June 2025 as to whether their synopses have been accepted and, if so, in which format they are to be presented (i.e., overview oral, regular oral, overview poster or regular poster). They will also be informed of the assigned presentation session.

Submission of manuscripts

A manuscript must be submitted for each contribution. Any contribution for which no manuscript is received by the given deadline will be removed from the conference programme. The deadline for submission of the manuscripts as PDF files through IAEA-INDICO is 30 September 2025 midnight (Central European Time). The IAEA will not accept submissions after the deadline.

Specifications and instructions for the layout of the full manuscript as well as for the preparation of posters will be posted on the IAEA web page for the conference (see Section?P of the Conference Announcement) in June 2025. The manuscript must be submitted through IAEA-INDICO and uploaded as a PDF file. IAEA-INDICO will be opened for submission of manuscripts on 31 July 2025 midnight (Central European Time).

Page limits for manuscripts

• Overview orals and posters: 12 pages
• Regular orals and posters: 8 pages

Access to manuscripts through the IAEA-INDICO system will be provided to contributors one day prior the starting of the conference.

Dissemination and publication routes

The IAEA will not be issuing proceedings of the 30th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference. Instead, synopses, presentation slides, posters and manuscripts compiled as “Conference Material” will be made available on the IAEA Fusion Portal (see Section P of the Conference Announcement).

The primary publishing route is the IAEA Nuclear Fusion journal. Authors may, however, choose to leave the manuscript as the final record.

The online conference material will be updated in 2025 with links to the Nuclear Fusion journal articles, and digital object identifiers will be appended to the manuscripts as required.

Authors of contributions within the categories of overview oral and overview poster are kindly requested to submit their manuscripts for publication in a dedicated special issue of the journal Nuclear Fusion to appear in 2026. Manuscripts should be submitted via http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/nf-iaea as soon after the conference as possible and by 27?November 2025 at the latest.

Authors of contributions within the category of regular oral and regular poster are also encouraged to submit their manuscripts to the Nuclear Fusion journal. The manuscripts must contain original work and should omit, or only briefly mention in the introduction, material that has already been published. Papers should be appropriate, in terms of style and content, for a high-quality scientific journal and will be subject to the standard double-referee peer review procedure observed by the editors of Nuclear Fusion. All communications with the authors regarding details for publication and charges will be handled by the Nuclear Fusion editorial office (email: nf@iaea.org).

Authors will be contacted by the editorial office in October 2025 to ascertain their intentions to further submit the conference manuscripts to Nuclear Fusion. Journal articles may be submitted via http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/nf-iaea at any time before 15 January 2026.

Published articles will be indexed within the journal as IAEA Fusion Energy Conference papers and linked to the manuscript in the Conference Material.

Post-Deadline Synopses

A limited number of post-deadline synopses will be accepted. To be considered, a synopsis must meet all of the following criteria:

• It deals with subject matter appropriate to this conference;
• It presents new experimental or theoretical data, or technological developments, of sufficient importance to attract wide-ranging interest among the conference participants obtained after the deadline for regular submissions; and
• It is submitted together with a completed Form for Submission of Contributions (Form B; see Section C) and an officially endorsed Participation Form (Form A; see Section C).
• The synopsis should be a maximum of two pages (A4 PDF) including figures, tables, and references, and should be submitted through IAEA-INDICO between 15 June and 15 September 2025, midnight (Central European Time).
• Authors will be notified by email by 3 October 2025 as to whether their synopses have been accepted and, if so, in which format they are to be presented (i.e., post-deadline oral or post-deadline poster). They will also be informed of the assigned presentation session. Authors of post-deadline contributions should be prepared to provide either an oral presentation or a poster. The manuscripts of post-deadline contributions will be included in the conference material and must follow the same guidelines as detailed in Section E of the Conference Announcement.
