Madrid, June 2027
Venue, visa and travel
ICMECE 2027 meets in Madrid together with ECRES 2027. In June the days are long and warm; book early, because June is a busy month in the city.
Visa
Schengen area
Papers are reviewed as they arrive. If you need a visa, submit early, register as soon as you are accepted and book your appointment as early as your visa centre allows.

Getting there and where to stayGet ready
Start with the template
Leave your e-mail and we send you the ICMECE paper template, then one reminder before the 15 March 2027 deadline. No newsletter unless you ask for it.
Prefer to ask first? Message the organizers on WhatsApp or open the assistant.
Questions authors ask
Before you submit
The assistant answers from the same list and hands you to a person on WhatsApp when it cannot.
Can I submit only an abstract, or do I need a full paper?
Both are possible: submit a full paper or an abstract, both prepared with the ICMECE Word template — the same template serves for abstracts. Both are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee. Choose the type when you submit: an abstract cannot be turned into a full paper after the deadline.
When is the paper submission deadline?
Full papers and abstracts are due 15 March 2027 (submit in Microsoft CMT). Papers are reviewed as they arrive, so you receive your decision by e-mail as soon as your paper is reviewed. Pay by 1 April 2027 for the early-bird fee (€100 lower); the standard registration deadline is 15 May 2027. The conference is on 9–10 June 2027 in Madrid and online — all dates: important dates.
Are the ICMECE proceedings indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
No. The ICMECE proceedings are published with an ISBN and are not indexed in Scopus or Web of Science. For journal publication, extended versions of selected papers are invited to the partner journals — each listed with its verified index labels and fee model on the publication page — and considered under each journal's own peer review.
How do I get a journal publication through ICMECE?
Present your paper at ICMECE. After the conference the scientific committee reviews the presented papers — presentation quality is one of the criteria — and extended versions of selected papers are invited to partner journals, where they are considered under each journal's own peer review. An invitation is not an acceptance, and we cannot promise journal publication.
Do I have to pay a publication fee (APC) to the journal?
It depends on the journal. Computers and Informatics and Journal of Polytechnic (Politeknik Dergisi) charge authors nothing; JOM and Proc. IMechE Part A cost nothing on the subscription route, with open access optional. Energy Engineering and the Energies and Processes special issues are open access: upon the views of the journal committee, a reduced APC fare is applied. Journal of Energy Systems charges author fees under its price policy. Each journal's fee model is on the publication page.
How do I register after my paper is accepted?
After acceptance you receive the registration form by e-mail. Fill it in with your Paper ID, participant type and billing details; a proforma invoice follows by e-mail. Pay by card on the organizer's secure payment page, or by bank transfer or Wise with the proforma details. You then receive the payment confirmation and the official acceptance letter; at least one author registers for each paper.
