Please read the following guidelines carefully regarding the submission of your Extended Abstract or Full Paper.
Submission Policy
While an initial abstract was required for the selection process, the submission of an Extended Abstract or Full Paper is not mandatory for presenting your work at the conference. All accepted contributions, whether oral or poster, can be presented regardless of whether an extended version is submitted.
However, please note: Only works submitted as an Extended Abstract or Full Paper by the deadline will receive a DOI and be officially published online in the QIRT Open Archive. To ensure your research is indexed and accessible to the global thermography community after the event, submission is highly encouraged.
