Speakers of Plenary and Oral presentations hand in their presentation/s at the Presenters’ Desk. A technician will control the correct functionality and transfer the presentation to the respective auditorium. Further details regarding Plenary/Oral Presentations can be found in the Author’s Workstation.

Speakers and Chairpersons of Plenary and Oral sessions meet 15 minutes prior to the start of their session in the respective auditorium in order to be briefed and to become acquainted with audio-visual aid.

In order to be published in the EU PVSEC 2026 Proceedings, corresponding authors of each presentation have to submit the original paper online between 07 – 17 September 2026 in his/ her user area.

Only corresponding authors of each submission may upload final manuscripts. This means that the corresponding author is the only author from each paper that is able to complete the submission (as is the case for abstract submission). If the manuscript is not made available during this period, your paper cannot be published in the Conference Proceedings. The document must be submitted in both Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat PDF formats. To upload the paper, corresponding authors have just to follow the step-by-step procedures provided in the user area and complete the mandatory electronic Copyright Transfer Agreement as one of the steps of the online submission. The Copyright Transfer Agreement is compulsory and can only be carried out electronically. During the submission of your paper, you will be taken automatically to the EU PVSEC 2026 electronic copyright form. Your paper submission will not be complete and therefore cannot be published without the electronic copyright submission. The Instructions for Preparation of Papers are available for download on the EU PVSEC website. You can find computers and technical support for the online submission of final manuscripts on site.
