Two ways to contribute to FAN 2025

If you're engaged in this field and think others could benefit from your unique approach or the technology you're developing, why not seize the opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise by producing and presenting a paper?

The first step is to produce an abstract for your proposed contribution.

Then you have two options:
- Paper: this is the classical conference paper, with an abstract, a draft paper with a review by a scientific committee member. It is presented during 20 minutes (including questions) in a thematic sessions.<--> A DOI number is associated to this paper which is included in the proceedings.
- Presentation without paper (PWP): this is a simple oral presentation. A review is done on the presentation, mainly formal. This presentation is not included in the proceedings. In all cases, an abstract has to be submitted (see Key dates below).

Papers or PWP are welcome on any of the topics listed under the three technical tracks.

For both papers and PwP, abstracts between 300 to 400 words in English need to be submitted.
