Call For Papers

ETNCC-2026 invites full-length original research contributions from researchers/professionals from industries, R&D organizations, academic institutions, and government departments from across the world. Full-length original research contributions and review articles not exceeding 09 pages. The manuscript should contribute original research ideas, developmental ideas, analysis, findings, results, etc. The manuscript should not have been published in any journals/magazines or conference proceedings and should not be under review in any of them.

Submitted papers will undergo a review by at least two members. The review criteria include quality, relevance, originality and correctness. For this conference, we will have a double blind review; the identity of both the authors and reviewers will not be disclosed. Only anonymised submissions will be considered.
