2026 Web of Science (WoS) Engineering Conferences: Official Links & Call for Papers
25 views||Release time: Jan 27, 2026
If you are aiming for high citations and global recognition, "Web of Science" (WoS) indexing is non-negotiable. For 2026, several flagship engineering conferences have already confirmed their dates and venues.
These events typically carry the IEEE or major society seal of approval, ensuring rigorous peer review and inclusion in the Science Citation Index (SCI/SCIE).
1. The Telecommunications Flagship: IEEE ICC 2026 This is one of the most prestigious networking conferences in the world. Organized by the IEEE Communications Society, papers accepted here are standardly indexed in WoS, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore.
When: May 24–28, 2026
Where: Glasgow, UK
Focus: 6G Networks, IoT, Signal Processing, and Wireless Comms.
Deadline Watch: Technical symposium papers are usually due by October/November 2025.
Why Submit: It is a career-defining event for telecommunication engineers.
2. The Nanotech Leader: IEEE-NANO 2026 For engineers working at the atomic scale, the 26th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology is the primary annual event. It brings together physicists, chemists, and engineers to discuss the future of materials.
When: July 5–8, 2026
Where: Nanjing, China
Focus: Nano-robotics, Nano-fabrication, and Spintronics.
Indexing: As a flagship IEEE event, WoS and EI Compendex indexing is expected.
Deadline: Full papers are typically due by March 1, 2026.
3. Computational Engineering: WCCM-ECCOMAS 2026 This is the "Olympics" of computational mechanics. Held every two years, the 17th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM) is a massive gathering of civil and mechanical engineers.
When: July 19–24, 2026
Where: Munich, Germany
Focus: Finite Element Analysis, Structural Dynamics, and Fluid Mechanics.
Why Submit: It is the largest event of its kind globally. While proceedings vary, the key symposia often lead to special issues in high-impact WoS journals.
Deadline: Call for abstracts opens in November 2025.
4. Computer Engineering: ICCCBDA 2026 For those in software and data engineering, the 11th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Big Data Analytics in Chengdu is a consistent performer for indexing.
When: April 24–26, 2026
Where: Chengdu, China
Focus: Cloud Architecture, Big Data algorithms, and AI Engineering.
Indexing History: Previous proceedings have been consistently indexed in Scopus and Ei Compendex, with selected excellent papers recommended for WoS journals.
Submission Strategy for WoS Quality over Quantity: WoS reviewers are strict. Ensure your methodology is robust and your English is polished.
Check the Sponsor: Conferences sponsored by IEEE, ACM, or Springer have the highest likelihood of stable WoS indexing.
Plan Early: The deadlines for these major events are often 6-8 months before the conference dates.
