Prospective Authors of papers are invited to submit a paper (typically 4-6 pages in standard IEEE two-column format) via EDAS by suggesting the related Track and Technical Session. The paper should contain a complete description of the proposed contribution along with results and suitably framed in the related state of the art. Each paper will be reviewed in terms of relevance with respect to the scope of the event, originality, quality of the technical content, overall organization, and writing style. Papers must be prepared according to the Author’s instructions reported on the MELCON 2026 website: 2026 IEEE 23rd Mediterranean Electrotechnical Conference (MELECON). Submission of papers implies the intention to register and present the related content at the conference. Proceedings papers presented at the Conference will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
