Paper Review Update: 17 March 2026

We have started sending out the outcomes of the first round of paper reviews to authors. Please rest assured that the Scientific and Organizing Committees are making every effort to complete the reviews within the next few weeks without compromising the quality of the process.

Manuscript Submission

We are pleased to announce that the full paper submission phase has now been successfully completed. The Organizing Committee is sincerely grateful for the strong interest in the Conference and for the high-quality contributions received.

To ensure broad scientific representation at the Conference, we are currently accepting a limited number of late submissions from authors whose abstracts have already been accepted. The submission platform will therefore remain open for a short additional period to accommodate these cases.

Authors who are eligible are strongly encouraged to submit their manuscripts as soon as possible, as timely submission supports an efficient and thorough review process.

If, for any reason, you are unable to complete your submission within this additional timeframe, please contact the Conference Secretariat at secretary@tc301-athens.com. Requests will be considered on an individual basis.

Please ensure that all submissions strictly follow the official paper template, available at the link below. Papers that do not comply with the template may not be considered for review.
