EVA London 2026 Conferences on Electronic Visualisation and the Arts.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• Papers

  Papers will be presented in 20-minute slots (either in plenary sessions or in parallel, with 15 minutes allocated for the talk itself) and be associated with a publication of a 3-8 page “long paper” in the proceedings. At least one author must register for the presentation of the paper. Paper presentations will be in person at the BCS London offices or online.

  Note that papers submitted as a “long paper” should include a draft of the paper as a PDF, but may be accepted as a 1-2 page “short paper” for the proceedings if a draft PDF paper is missing or lacking in the proposal. Submission as a “short” paper proposal is possible as just an abstract without a draft paper.

  Demonstrations

  Demonstrations can be presented physically, although online demonstrations will also be possible. These will be in 10 or 20-minute slots, or if essential, in combination with a paper in a 30-minute slot (or before a break if appropriate). Proposals are invited and should be submitted in outline as for papers, above. However, we will not expect detailed demo requirements until nearer the conference, to allow time for development.

  For publication, you will be able to provide a 1-2 page “short paper” describing the demo if not associated with a long paper. At least one author must register for the presentation of the demonstration.

  Panel sessions and workshops

  Proposals for panel sessions, workshops, and tutorials are welcome. Please note the following:

• A panel session normally consists of two or more panel members who each make brief presentations or statements, followed by a discussion with the audience. We will look for panel sessions that we judge to be of wide interest to the EVA London audience and which would stimulate and engage the audience. Panel sessions last 30 minutes with an optional associated paper of 1-8 pages (i.e., a short or long paper). A draft paper should be included if a long paper is planned. Note that all panel members must register unless agreed otherwise. A panel session may be physical, online, or both.
• A workshop should be a practical session or coordinated set of presentations and would normally be delivered as a 90-minute or 120-minute session, although this is flexible. Note that all workshop presenters must register unless agreed otherwise. An optional associated short paper of 1-2 pages can appear in the proceedings, or information in a joint paper covering several workshops, edited by the workshop chairs, is also possible. A workshop may be physical, online, or both. It can be didactic in nature.

• Research Workshop

  Held on one or two days of the EVA London conference, depending on the number of accepted submissions, the Research Workshop is an opportunity for postgraduate students and unaffiliated artists to present their work and share research in progress in an informal and supportive setting. The EVA London 2026 Research Workshop is planned over two afternoons during the conference.

  A Research Workshop proposal is for a 15-minute presentation (in a 20-minute slot) on your ideas, plans, or initial results (with a few minutes for questions and discussion). Accepted Research Workshop presenters can attend the EVA London conference at a special rate, but must at least attend on the day of the presentation. A written submission of up to two pages may be incorporated in a joint paper edited by the Research Workshop organiser. A separate paper may be possible by arrangement with and at the discretion of the organiser, at an additional charge.

  The deadline for Research Workshop proposals is 23rd February 2026, by email to the Research Workshop organiser, Graham Diprose. Note that some proposals for the main conference may be accepted for the Research Workshop instead.
