Structure
Each conference day combines plenary content with parallel technical sessions drawn from the four thematic tracks.
Plenary talks by internationally recognised experts, opening each day and setting the agenda for the sessions that follow. Speakers are invited between November 2026 and February 2027.
Parallel peer-reviewed sessions across the four thematic tracks, each chaired by a member of the international scientific committee.
Cross-sector panels bringing industry, classification societies and regulators onto the same platform as the research community.
Dedicated sessions and networking for postgraduate students and early-career researchers.
An industry exhibition running alongside the technical programme, with dedicated time in the breaks.
A welcome reception and a conference gala dinner in Glasgow. Details are confirmed with the venue. TBC
Tracks
Technical sessions are grouped under the four conference themes. The number of parallel streams depends on the volume of accepted papers.
