Opening plenary begins in
Five tracks
One conference, five conversations
SEGC is deliberately multidisciplinary. Each track runs its own peer-reviewed sessions while sharing plenaries, so the hardest problems get looked at from more than one direction.
Why SEGC
Built for work that has to hold up
Keynotes that set the agenda
Three days of plenary addresses from researchers and operators who are shaping how emerging technology reaches real institutions.
Rigorous peer review
Every submission is reviewed by at least two independent members of the scientific committee, with structured written feedback.
Genuinely international
A hybrid programme, funded scholarships and visa support so participation is not decided by geography or budget.
Recognition that travels
Best paper and best poster awards, an indexed proceedings volume, and a fast track to the SEGC journal special issue.
Keynote speakers
Confirmed for the main stage
