Original papers will be accepted for presentation after a review by the Technical Program Committee. Papers must be submitted as Adobe PDF files via the ISOM’26 website (https://isom.jp/).

Before submitting a paper, a delegated author must complete the paper submission form, including the 50-word abstract, on the website. The 2-page summary should then be uploaded via the same platform.

The name and email address of the presenter, as well as whether the presenter is a student, must be specified at the time of submission. Papers that do not conform to the required format will be rejected. Additionally, submitted papers cannot be replaced or modified after the submission deadline.

CALL FOR FINANCIAL SPONSORS AND EXHIBITORS

ISOM’26 is considering inviting financial sponsors and exhibitors. Details will be announced on the ISOM website (https://isom.jp/) as soon as they are finalized.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

For students participating in ISOM’26, 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.
