Call for Contributions

The EuroXR association (www.euroxr.org) would like to kindly invite you to contribute to the 22nd EuroXR International Conference - EuroXR 2025.

EuroXR 2025 will be hosted and co-organized by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), located in Winterthur, Switzerland. As in the previous year, our International Conference will take place with in-person attendance, so you can expect a rich experience.

Beside Invited Keynote talks and plenary sessions for Scientific track, Application track, and Posters & Demos track, we will also welcome this year joint events related to several European projects in progress.

TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS

For all conference tracks, we seek original, high-quality contributions in all areas of eXtended Reality (XR) technologies, and thus related to Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and 3D User Interfaces. In these areas, submissions may address a wide range of topics of interest, as listed in https://www.euroxr.org/topics-euroxr2025.

Please note that the calls for contributions for each category will not be open at the same time.

  • Scientific track: [OPEN NOW] Papers (Long, Medium, or Short) must describe novel research results and will be published in a Springer LNCS volume (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). For your convenience, indexing information of LNCS series is available on this Springer webpage: As in previous years, authors of the top papers will get an opportunity to submit an extended version to the journal Computers & Graphics.

  • Application track: [NOT OPEN YET] Extended abstracts, which are meant to describe practical use cases of XR technologies.

  • Poster track: [NOT OPEN YET] Posters may present preliminary results of research or application projects or work-in-progress. They will be submitted as an extended abstract.

  • Demos track: [NOT OPEN YET] Demos may accompany any type of submission or may be submitted independently. They are submitted as an extended abstract.

Extended abstracts (2-4 pages) of accepted Application talks, or accepted Posters and Demos, will be published in an ISBN-registered proceedings, edited by VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. The calls for those kinds of papers will be announced later.

SUBMISSIONS TO THE SCIENTIFIC TRACK

This year, two procedures are possible for Scientific paper submissions, which allow authors to choose between two different deadlines.

Submissions before the first deadline (April 13) will get a reviewing procedure that includes a rebuttal phase after receiving the initial review reports. This will allow the authors to clarify potential misunderstandings and to resubmit a revised paper before the final decision of the reviewers.

Alternatively, authors can choose to submit to the second deadline (June 24), but will not benefit from the advantage provided by the rebuttal procedure.

In both cases, all submissions will be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers.

Important Dates for the Scientific Track (each deadline is 23:59:59 AoE)

  • Scientific paper submission with rebuttal procedure: Apr 13, 2025

  • First notification for papers submitted with the rebuttal procedure: May 9, 2025

  • Deadline for revised papers in the rebuttal procedure: May 16, 2025

  • Scientific paper submission without rebuttal procedure: May 16, 2025

  • Final notification for all scientific papers (with or without Rebuttal) : July 1, 2025

  • Camera-ready submission of accepted Scientific papers: July 14, 2025

  • Deadlines for the Application, Posters and Demo tracks: To be announced later

Three sizes of papers are possible in the scientific track:

  • Long paper: 14-20 pages in the Springer format (about eight pages in traditional two-column format). If accepted, the authors will have about 30 minutes of presentation (including questions) during one of the scientific sessions of the conference.

  • Medium paper: 8-12 pages in Springer's format. If accepted, the authors will have about 20 minutes of presentation (including questions) during one of the scientific sessions of the conference.

  • Short paper: 4-6 pages Springer format. This type is meant for work-in-progress, position papers, and similar content. If accepted, the authors will have about 10 minutes of presentation (including questions) during one of the scientific sessions of the conference.

Please, read carefully the Call for Contributions where the types of contribution and the expected length of the papers are described together with important dates and a description of the reviewing process.

Submissions have to be uploaded to the management system of Springer (EquinOCS) here: (Open Soon)

Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published. A manuscript is considered to have been previously published if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, magazine, book or conference proceedings that is reliably and permanently available afterwards in print or electronic form to non-attendees, regardless of the language of that publication. A manuscript identical or substantially similar in content (in its entirety or in part) to one submitted to EuroXR 2025 should not be simultaneously under consideration for another conference or journal during any part of the review process, from the submission deadline until final notifications of decisions are emailed to the authors.

In case of acceptance, scientific papers will be published in a Springer LNCS volume (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), and at least one author is expected to present the paper in person at the conference.

PAPER FORMATING 

Authors should consult Springer’s Instructions for Authors of Proceedings and use either the LaTeX or the Word templates provided on the authors’ page for the preparation of their papers. For your convenience, Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf

To allow for a double-blind peer reviewing process, please make your submissions fully anonymous (no author names, nor affiliation, only anonymous self-references). Relevant previous work by the authors should be cited in the third person to preserve anonymity. Papers which are not anonymous will be automatically desk-rejected.

CAMERA READY INSTRUCTIONS

Authors of accepted contributions will have to prepare a camera-ready file set. This set is composed of:

  • Camera-ready file (PDF), 

  • Full source files (i.e. Latex file(s) and all the image files, or the full Word file),

  • Online signature of the Springer Consent-to-Publish form. 

  • Videos and other electronic supplementary material, which will be made available in SpringerLink.

Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs with their names and affiliations. We also kindly ask all authors to adhere to Springer’s Code of Conduct.

The corresponding author of each paper must complete and sign a Springer Consent-to-Publish form, acting on behalf of all of the co-authors of the paper. The author signing this form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. After the camera-ready deadline, no changes to the papers can be made.

Thanks to the EquinOCS system, the authors of accepted papers can sign the Springer Consent-to-Publish form online. See detailed instructions here.

For further information, please don’t hesitate to contact the Scientific Program Chairs of EuroXR 2025.
