Call for EXTENDED ABSTRACTS (iarigai) Researchers are invited to submit Extended Abstracts of research findings for a conference presentation via EasyChair (link). The conferences encompass a broad range of print and media research topics. Key focus areas for the joint conference include but are not limited to the following:

Print and Media technologies & Systems

• Prepress: colour management, workflows, image processing, content flow
• Press: all printing processes such as analogue (flexo, gravure, screen, offset) and digital (inkjet and others) - process optimisation (e.g. by AI), production organisation, product development, workflows, drying…
• Post press: finishing optimization, fulfilment
• Measurement and metrologies: colour measurement, material characterisation (wetting, rheology, …)
• New Media

Print material Science

• Substrates (paper, paperboard, glass, plastics, ceramic, metal, ...)
• Coatings
• Ink formulation and migration
• Material characterisation (e.g. adhesion)
• Ink chemistry and regulatory issues
• Active materials

Applications

• Bioprinting
• Functional printing
• Printed electronics
• Sustainable Packaging Innovations
• 4D printing
• 3D printing
• Security printing
• Decoration and furniture print
• Augmented Reality
• IoT and IIoT

Sustainability and Ecological Aspects

• Circular economy
• Sustainable green printing packaging
• Sustainable materials
• Deinking

Others

 However, contributions are not strictly limited to above areas and topics.

Contributions and Submissions

Authors from iarigai member organisations and other research institutes, universities and industrial R&D are invited to submit the results of their research for presentation at the conference. 
An Extended Abstract of between 2000 and 3000 words prepared in .docx or .doc format following the Guidelines to Authors only should be submitted online (EasyChair).
Authors are asked to use this template file for the abstracts.
