Registration

Eligibility for reduced rates

IEEE member rates require a valid IEEE membership number, entered on the registration confirmation form. Student rates require proof of full-time student status: a current student ID or a letter from your supervisor. A student rate covers a paper only when a student is the presenting author.

How to Register

Step 1. Pay your registration fee.

‹Payment method and details: card payment link and/or bank transfer — beneficiary, bank, account number, SWIFT.› Quote your paper ID in the payment reference.

Step 2. Submit proof of registration.

Complete the SIDe'26 Author Registration Confirmation Form within three days of payment:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnp_9VaOncLtHvGlUaGppMM9Q-QfW_jtirStleVASSNKMrcQ/viewform

You will need your paper ID, presenter details, registration category, and payment receipt. Submit one form per paper. Registration is complete only when we have received both your payment and the form.

Invoices

If your institution needs an invoice before payment, write to side@nu.edu.kz with your paper ID, the name and address to appear on the invoice, and your registration category.

Registration fee support

A limited number of fee waivers and reductions are available for authors from low-income countries and for students without funding. Apply to side@nu.edu.kz with your paper ID and a short statement of need by ‹date›. Waivers are not guaranteed, and applying does not extend registration deadlines.

Similarity and AI-Generated Content

All papers undergo similarity screening before final acceptance and again at camera-ready.

Overall similarity must remain below 10%, excluding references and quoted material.
Generative AI content must remain below 20%.
All references must be relevant, accurate, and verified.

Papers that fail these requirements may be rejected at any stage.

IEEE Publication Route

Template

Use the IEEE conference template. Papers must run 4 to 6 pages including figures, tables, references, and appendices.

Prepare your final paper

Remove all anonymisation. Add full author names and affiliations.
Remove all page numbers, headers, and footers.
Remove all template guidance text. Papers that still carry it may not be published.
Do not add a copyright notice. IEEE adds the required metadata before publication in Xplore.
Embed all fonts. No security settings or password protection.

Make every change before you create the PDF.

Validate with IEEE PDF eXpress — by 2 October 2026

Every IEEE-route paper must pass IEEE PDF eXpress. Unvalidated files cannot go to IEEE.

Go to https://ieee-pdf-express.org/
First-time users: create an account with Conference ID 71744X, your email address, and a password of your choosing. Previous PDF eXpress users: you already have an account — log in with the password from your earlier conference, not your IEEE Account password. Use Login Assistance if you have forgotten it. Do not create a second account.
Click CREATE NEW TITLE and enter your SIDe'26 paper ID as the Paper ID.
Upload your file. PDF eXpress certifies your PDF or converts your Word or LaTeX source.
Download the certified PDF.

Submit the certified file, not your original. Do not edit it afterwards — adding page numbers, headers, or watermarks breaks Xplore compatibility.

Support: PDFSupport@ieee.org

Submit camera-ready and copyright — by 5 October 2026

Upload your PDF eXpress–certified file under Camera Ready Submission.
Use the IEEE copyright link on the same paper. Complete the form on the IEEE site, download the signed PDF, and upload it on the copyright page.

Your submission is complete only when both files are uploaded. The author list is locked and must match your copyright form exactly. If a correction is needed, write to side@nu.edu.kz before you sign the copyright form.

Springer Nature STEAM-H Route

Springer-route papers are submitted through the SIDe'26 Springer form. Do not submit Springer-route papers through CMT.

Template

Use the Springer Nature STEAM-H chapter template. The template and full formatting instructions are provided in the SIDe'26 Springer submission form:

https://forms.gle/bKM7X9x4XcB9xekJ7

Prepare your final chapter

Remove all anonymisation. Add full author names, affiliations, and emails.
Follow the reference style set in the Springer template.
Supply figures at publication resolution.

Springer-route papers do not use IEEE PDF eXpress.

Submit camera-ready and consent to publish — by 5 October 2026

Submit through the SIDe'26 Springer submission form, quoting your CMT paper ID:

https://forms.gle/bKM7X9x4XcB9xekJ7

Upload:

Your final chapter as PDF
Your source files (Word or LaTeX)
The signed Springer Nature Consent to Publish form

Inclusion in the STEAM-H volume is subject to editorial selection, publisher requirements, and final volume acceptance.

Presentation

Upload your presentation by 15 October 2026. Indicate on the registration form whether you will present on site or online; we recommend on-site presentation. Session details will appear on the Programme page.

No-Show Policy

At least one author must register and present each paper, in person or virtually. Papers that are not presented will be withdrawn from the proceedings and not submitted for publication.

Submission Guidelines (IEEE Compliance)

To ensure SIDe'26 is approved for IEEE proceedings and included in IEEE Xplore®, all submissions must rigorously follow IEEE standards. Non-adherence may result in rejection or exclusion—let's establish a gold standard.
