CfP: ETLTC2027 Global Conference Series at the University of Aizu, Japan

About the Institute/Organizer

The Emerging Technologies Learning and Training Consortium (ETLTC) is an international academic and industry conference platform founded in Japan. ETLTC brings together researchers, educators, students, industry professionals, and other stakeholders to discuss emerging technologies and their applications in education, society, business, and related fields.

About the Conference

The conference series is interdisciplinary and covers technology in the context of computer science and engineering and technology in the context of social science applications. ETLTC, as a global conference series, provides opportunities for research presentation, peer review, publication, networking, and collaboration.

Conferences are generally offered in a hybrid format, allowing on-site and virtual participation. They especially welcome interdisciplinary papers in law that are at the cross-section of technology and law.

Submission Guidelines

The principal guidelines include:

Originality: Submissions should be original, previously unpublished, and relevant to the conference scope.
Anonymous Review: For conferences using the stated CMT procedure, papers must be anonymous. We may return or desk-reject non-anonymous papers.
Minimum Submission: An extended abstract of approximately 500 words may serve as the minimum submission requirement for author-presenters in applicable conferences.

- Originality and novelty
- Academic rigor
- Methodological soundness
- Relevance to the conference
- Quality of analysis
