The 26th International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2026) will take place in Hamburg, Germany, on 29 June - 1 July 2026, at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron | German Electron Synchrotron). With an average attendance of 350 participants, world-renowned keynote speakers, and over 20 Workshops, ICCS is the prime annual event in Computational Science, bringing together researchers and scientists from academia and industry.

The theme for 2026, “At the Forefront of Science through Computation and Data”, highlights the role of Computational Science in assisting multidisciplinary research.

ICCS 2026 News and Quick Facts

[1] Submission deadline: 23 January 2026. Submit your paper now to the following: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=iccs2026

[2] ICCS 2026 format: We are happy to announce that ICCS 2026 in Germany, like the previous edition in Singapore, will be a fully in-person event. However, there will still be a registration option (incl. publishing) for authors of accepted contributions who are unable to join us in Hamburg. See: https://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2026/meeting-format/

[3] ICCS proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS and indexed by Scopus, EI Engineering Index, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (included in ISI Web of Science), and several other indices.

[4] The Call for Workshops is now open: https://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2026/call-for-workshops/

Scope and Topics

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original, unpublished research and recent developments in Computational Sciences. All accepted papers will be included in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and indexed by Scopus, EI Engineering Index, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (included in ISI Web of Science), and several other indexing services. The papers will contain linked references, XML versions and citable DOI numbers.

Submission Guidelines

ICCS is co-organised with the Workshops on Computational Science (WCS), a set of thematic satellite events that focus on particular aspects of computational science. You can submit your paper to either the Main Conference or any of the Workshops via the same EasyChair link. You can also choose to submit a Full/Short Paper or an Abstract. For all the details on the differences between each submission type, please check: https://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2026/call-for-papers/

Do also note that:

ICCS and WCS papers will be published in separate proceedings, that is, there will be a LNCS publication for the main conference, and a different LNCS publication for the Workshops. But both ICCS and WCS will be published by LNCS, and indexed in the same way.
The only difference between Full and Short Papers is the number of accepted pages. They are otherwise published and indexed in the exact same way.

This year students can also enter their papers for the Student Competition. For more information, please read: https://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2026/student-competition/

Papers of up to 15 pages, written in English and complying with the Springer LNCS format, should be submitted electronically through the EasyChair submission system: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=iccs2026

Templates are available for download from EasyChair (see the "Submission Templates" link on the top right of the submission details webpage).

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. The articles must be based on original unpublished work and must be submitted to ICCS only.

Deadlines for draft paper submission, notification of acceptance, camera-ready paper submission and registration may be found in the Important Dates section.

After the conference, the best papers will be invited for a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science (Impact Factor: 3.7)
