The Call for Contributions for the LANE 2026 conference is open.
There are two submission lines in LANE 2026:
(A) Scientific contribution (paper & presentation):
Submit your manuscript until 28.02.2026. Please note that there is no preceding abstract phase. Your scientific paper (with a total length of 4 pages) will be reviewed by an international review committee of renowned experts. In case of a positive review result, the paper will be published online as a special issue of Elsevier’s open access journal ‘Procedia CIRP’ and presented live at LANE 2026. Papers published in Procedia CIRP will be available online on ScienceDirect. Procedia CIRP is indexed in the EI Compendex and Scopus databases.
(B) Industrial contribution (presentation only):
Industrial abstract submission deadline is 28.02.2026. Abstracts should consist of about 150 words and must be written in English. Your abstract on your industrial presentation at LANE will be reviewed on its relevance for application. In case of a positive review result, your presentation will be scheduled at LANE 2026.
