Call for Papers

Submission Tracks

URAI 2026 offers two submission tracks under the same thematic scope. The primary scientific focus of the symposium lies on original research contributions.

Track 1: Original Research Contributions

This track welcomes original, unpublished research advancing applied AI and its responsible integration into practice.

Submission Process

• Authors submit an extended abstract of 1-2 pages describing their research.
• Based on the evaluation of the extended abstracts, submissions will be accepted or rejected and assigned to either oral presentation or poster presentation.
• Authors of accepted contributions are invited to submit a full paper (maximum 8 pages) for inclusion in the symposium proceedings.
• Full papers undergo a formal and editorial review prior to publication.

Track 2: Journal/Conference-First-Contributions

This track invites contributions that have been published within the last 18 months in peer-reviewed journals or international conferences across relevant disciplines.

The aim is to increase visibility of high-quality research within the Upper-Rhine AI community and foster cross-border exchange.

Submission Process

• Authors submit an extended abstract of 1-2 pages together with reference to the original publication.
• All extended abstracts undergo a review to ensure relevance and alignment with the symposium theme.
• Based on the evaluation of the extended abstracts, submissions will be accepted or rejected and assigned to either oral presentation or poster presentation.
• No additional full paper is required. Accepted extended abstracts may be included in the symposium proceedings.

Submissions will be reviewed by the Programme Committee. Further information on evaluation criteria, proceedings, and publication details will be announced shortly.
