The organizing committee of IPEE 2025 invites proposals for Special Sessions on emerging topics in Power and Electrical Engineering. Please read carefully the submission guidelines outlined next before submitting your proposal. The proposals should be prepared using this template.

Proposal Submission

The Special Session intends to address current and future research and application topics, through experts in the field and may include, other than the paper presentation, discussions, and interactions among participants. If you intend to propose and organize a special session, please submit a proposal to ipee_official@outlook.com, using the provided template.

• Title of the Special Session
• A brief description of the area of concern (approx. 100 words), with special focus on why this is considered to be an interesting and significant topic.
• The name and contact information of two or more Special Sessions chairs, who are willing to promote and organize a sufficient amount of quality submissions to the Special Sessions. Please also indicate the short bio of the organizers.
• A list of potential authors and their affiliations
• A list of potential reviewers and their affiliations

Special Session Organization

• Once approved, it is the duty of the organizers to publicize the Special Session among researchers and practitioners in the field and attract a sufficient number of papers. Papers submitted to Special Session will undergo the same review process as regular papers. The Special Session chairs of the respective Special Session are responsible for organizing the review process.
• Before starting the review process, SS organizers must explicitly declare papers which present a conflict of interest for them. A conflict of interest arises where the judgment of a paper quality can be influenced by the organizers being authors or knowing some of the authors. To ensure independent reviews, this conflict must be marked as such in the submission system and the SS chairs notified so that they can arrange the review process.
• A minimum of 5 accepted papers with authors from at least 3 independent institutions is required for each session. If a session has too few papers, accepted papers will be allocated to regular sessions wherever possible. In case of indication of weakly organized Special Sessions, the conference organizers will support the organizers with advice but reserve measures including cancellation of the respective Special Session. The quality of the accepted paper will be assured by the Technical Program Committee Chairs of IPEE 2025.
