Conferences & Events

EMBS also co-sponsors events with other IEEE Societies.

Conference Technical Co-Sponsorship by IEEE EMBS

Many of EMB volunteers participate in Conferences not sponsored by EMBS. At times, EMBS receives requests to technically co-sponsor these events. The Society will consider these requests if EMBS members are actively engaged in the event.

Technical Co-sponsorship Only

A request can be made for technical co-sponsorship by conferences with subject content aligned with EMB’s field of interest and can demonstrate significant participation by EMB members in the Program organization of the event.

Technical Co-sponsorship with acquisition of Conference Proceeding for publication in IEEE Xplore

For an existing conference publication to be considered for EMB acquisition, there must be an archive of more than one past proceedings made available to EMBS for qualitative evaluation. First time events will not be considered for acquisition.

As a Technical Co-sponsor, IEEE EMBS requires the following items:

• All papers submitted to the conference must be peer-reviewed.
• The conference must demonstrate that its paper submission process is secure.
• The conference organizers have a process to identify plagiarism and reject fraudulent reviewers and papers.
• Authors follow IEEE and EMB Code of Ethics

To verify this information, a detailed description of the paper submission and review process must be submitted to the EMB Executive Office. The review process and the submitted past publications will be reviewed by EMB VP Conferences. Please include a Call for Papers if one is available. IEEE EMBS will not authorize any publication acquisition for IEEE Xplore until these requirements can be verified.

All IEEE fees associated with acquiring the Conference Proceedings for a technically co-sponsored conference will be the responsibility of the conference.

As of April 2020, IEEE administrative fees for Conference Technical Co-sponsorship are:

• Technical Co-Sponsorship Only: US $1,450 per event
• Technical Co-Sponsorship and Acquisition of Conference Publication: US $1,450 per event and US$22 for all papers submitted into IEEE Xplore.

IEEE EMBS will not have any financial involvement and will be limited to participating as a Technical Co-sponsor and the use of IEEE EMBS in the title of the Conference is prohibited. IEEE EMBS reserves the right at any time to revoke technical co-sponsorship with a cause.

As a Technical Co-sponsor to IEEE EMBS the Conference must:

• Acknowledge IEEE EMBS participation in all conference materials, advertisements, and on the conference website.
• Include and identify EMB members who are participating as members of the Program and Review Committee
• Include the IEEE EMBS Information page in the Final Program and Conference Proceeding.
• This acquisition of your Conference Proceedings is not guaranteed and is contingent upon the proceedings being created in the required IEEE compatible format and submitted according to IEEE requirements.
• Provide to IEEE EMBS one complimentary copy of the Conference Proceeding for the EMBS Executive Office.

As a technical co-sponsor of the conference, IEEE EMBS will provide the following:

• include your conference information in the Society Calendar and will advertise the event to its members
• permission for the use of IEEE EMBS logo on the Conference Website and promotion material as a sponsoring society.

Note: IEEE EMBS will not technically co-sponsor a conference if it falls within a month (either side) of our Annual International Conference or a month (either side) of one of our Special Topic Conferences.
