Before you submit
Prepare two things before opening the submission form.
1. Your manuscript PDF
Prepare the manuscript using the official META 2027 template and upload it as a PDF. Contributed papers must be 2–4 pages; invited contributions must be at least one page. No manuscript may exceed four pages.
2. The information entered in the submission form
Have the following information ready. The form checks it before accepting your submission.
- An abstract of no more than 50 words. Rich-text formatting — including
bold, italics, colors and hyperlinks — is removed. Subscripts, superscripts and scientific
symbols are preserved as plain Unicode characters, for example TiO₂,
10⁻³, 45°, 300 µm and α-Al₂O₃. Check the converted text
carefully before submitting.
- Every author who appears on the manuscript, in the order shown on the paper.
You will be asked how many authors the manuscript has, and the form will not accept the
submission until that many have been entered. The author list cannot be changed
after submission, and only the authors entered here appear in the program, the
proceedings and the certificates. If the paper is submitted with an incomplete author
list, or with authors entered in a different order from the uploaded PDF, submit it again as
a new submission and contact the organizers to have the original submission removed.
- Each author's primary institution — the university, research organization
or company only: Université Paris-Saclay, IEMN-CNRS,
ISASI-CNR, Nokia Bell Labs, Samsung Electronics Co. Not the department, faculty or postal address. Names
and institutions are printed exactly as you enter them, accents included.
- The author who will actually present the paper. This is not necessarily
the person submitting it. The program is scheduled around the presenting author, and the
certificate of presentation is issued in their name.
- Your preferred presentation format. This is a preference only and cannot
be guaranteed. If you request an oral presentation, decisions are communicated in two stages.
The first email confirms whether your paper has been accepted. After the program is drafted,
a second email announces whether it has been assigned to an oral or poster session. With
approximately 1,000 contributions in recent editions, not every oral request can be
accommodated. Assignments reflect scientific content, thematic fit, program balance,
diversity and available time—not quality alone. Choose exactly one preference; if you
have none, select the option that says so.
Invited presentations are limited to one
per presenting author. If a co-author will give one of the talks, simply designate
that co-author as the presenting author for that paper. The limit applies per presenter, not
per submitter: you may submit and co-author as many papers as you wish.
If you already have an invited
presentation, please consider choosing poster for your second paper. This helps give
more participants an opportunity to present in the contributed oral program.
At the last step you will be asked to confirm
that every manuscript author has been entered, and to review the title and abstract as they
will be used. Please check both before you do.
