From abstract to conference presentation
Abstract review and programme formation
Our abstract portal will be open from 9 December 2025 for submissions. It will close on February 6, after which our Programme Committees will review al submitted abstracts. In late May the chairs of all the committees will get together to create the three day programme for the conference. After notification of acceptance, the authors need to reconfirm their contribution to the conference in early June and make sure to book their place for the conference by the end of June.
Writing papers and presentations
A style sheet for your conference paper will be made available as a download on this page in May, as well as more information on writing a conference paper and our guidelines for presenting at our conference. For questions about the abstract submission or programme process, please contact our teams at aetransport.events@aetransport.org.
Paper repository
The repository of ETC past papers is a valuable resource of the Association and is an important source of information for transport planners, researchers and engineers worldwide. Speakers are strongly encouraged to write and submit a full paper to be added to the repository. Full papers can be uploaded on your abstract page after receiving your acceptance notification for the programme in May.
Uploading presentation slides
We ask speakers who are unable to upload their paper before the conference (or who would like to upload both a paper and a presentation) to upload their presentation slides (if possible) to their abstract page. This will help our delegates choose their personal conference programme and help their audience to prepare informed questions for lively debates during the sessions.
Peer review
Presenters interested in peer review and publication online, or in special issues of journals, can indicate so on their abstract submission form. While full papers can be uploaded to your abstract page before the conference, any updated or changed versions of the final papers must be uploaded to the abstract pages by 31 October 2026. Our Peer Review committee will then collect the submitted papers and start their selection process. More information can be found on our publications opportunities page.
