Are you conducting research in the field of electromagnetic compatibility or developing practical solutions to everyday EMC challenges? If so, we warmly invite you to present your findings or innovative approaches at our upcoming congress.
We welcome both academic papers and application-oriented contributions that encourage exchange between research, development, and real-world practice. Submissions may take the form of oral presentations or poster sessions – with or without a full paper. Alternatively, you may apply to lead a workshop and share your expertise in a hands-on format.
By submitting your abstract, you agree to present your contribution as scheduled in the program during the EMV 2026, which will take place from 24 – 26 March in Cologne.
Submissions will open here in mid-May.
What to expect
The EMV is the leading event for electromagnetic compatibility in Europe – and the meeting point for both industry and academia. What makes the event truly unique is its close connection between practical application and cutting-edge research.
Visibility for your research
Present your topic to a broad expert audience covering the entire EMC value chain – from academia and R&D to industrial application.
Publication of your manuscript
Your paper will be published as a citable open-access publication with a DOI in the digital EMV Proceedings and in the official repository.
Direct feedback & networking
Engage in direct exchange with experts from science and industry, receive valuable feedback, and build new connections for research and practical collaboration.
Where theory meets practice: The accompanying trade fair
Discover how research findings from the conference and workshops are translated into real-world applications – live at the exhibition booths of participating companies.
Conference presentation, poster, or workshop – which format suits you best?
Shape your participation at the EMV 2026 according to your goals and resources. Choose from five different formats – from classic technical presentations to poster sessions and interactive workshops.
These formats differ in terms of time commitment, target audience, citation eligibility, first-publication requirements, and the opportunity to be nominated for an award.
Submissions are welcome in both German and English.
Please note: Product presentations and promotional talks are not permitted in the conference, poster session, or workshops.
Conference presentation
Presentation duration is 20 minutes followed by a 10-minute discussion. Contributions are welcome in both German and English.
Choose from two participation options:
With full paper
If you submit a full paper, it will be published as a citable Open Access publication with a DOI in the digital EMV Proceedings and online repository.
The manuscript must be between 4 and 8 pages in length.
Key requirements:
- The paper must be a first-time publication.
- It must not have been presented at any other conference, even in a different language.

Your benefits:
You gain scientific visibility, a citable publication, and the opportunity to be nominated for the Best Paper Award or the Young Engineer Award.

In this format, you only submit an abstract, which will be published as part of the conference proceedings.
No full paper and no first-time publication are required, making this option significantly less time-consuming.
Please note: The contribution is not citable and will not be published in the repository.
Poster presentation
As part of the Poster Session on the afternoon of March 24, 2026, you will have the opportunity to present your research in an interactive format. You will display your topic visually on a poster and be available for one-on-one discussions with interested participants.
A special advantage:
The Poster Session is open to both conference attendees and exhibitors, giving you even greater exposure for your research.
Language:

For this participation option, you will submit an abstract and create a poster, which you will print and present at the EMV 2026.

As no full paper or first-time publication is required, the time commitment is significantly lower.
Please note:
- The contribution is not citable and will not be published in the repository.
- The poster must be created by the presenter and submitted as a PDF for a quality check to Mesago.
Workshop
The workshop duration is 2 hours and 45 minutes (plus a 30-minute break). The language of the presentation can be either German or English.
Workshops are designed to focus on practical applicability and serve as training courses. Case studies or experiments can be used to help convey theoretical content in a practical manner.
Important notes:
Before the workshop, you must provide Mesago with your workshop documentation. This will be made available to all participants in advance as a working document and reference material.
