An author needs to fill in the paper submission form, including a 50-word abstract, and submit a 2-page summary (PDF file) following the “Instructions for Process of Submission” on the ISOM website (http://www.isom.jp/).

The ISOM web submission system does not accept any PDF files that include 2-byte characters (for example, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean characters). Local fonts should be removed from the text body and figures before submission.
The submission deadline is Sep. 1, 2025 Among the accepted post-deadline papers, selected ones will be presented as oral presentations in the final session. Other accepted post-deadline papers will be presented in the poster session. Authors will be notified whether their papers are accepted or not by mid September 2025.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

For students participating in ISOM’25, financial support may be available for those who meet the following criteria. However, the amount of support will vary between those from the host country and those from other countries, taking travel expenses into consideration. Part of the support for students from outside the host country will be funded by the Takano Eiichi Optical Science Funds. Criteria for Financial Support:
1. Must be a full-time student.
2. Must be the first author and the presenter.
3. The student's supervisor must approve the application.
Due to a limited budget, not all applications will be approved. The ISOM Steering Committee will review the applications. Among the applications deemed appropriate, support will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you wish to apply for financial support, please fill out the application form that will be announced later and submit it.
