Upcoming 2026 International Conferences in Poland: Call for Papers (Engineering, Tech & Science)

If you are mapping out your 2026 submission schedule, you need to put Poland on your list. Seriously. It's centrally located in Europe, costs a fraction of what you'd spend in London or Paris, and the academic quality is top-tier.

I’ve scouted the upcoming schedules and found four major international conferences confirmed for 2026 that are already gearing up for submissions. Whether you are into hardcore engineering, data science, or materials physics, there is something here for you.

Here are the confirmed heavy hitters you need to know about.

1. The Tech Giant: 12th Microwave & Radar Week (MRW 2026)

If you work in telecommunications, radar systems, or microwave engineering, this is the big one. It’s a biennial event (happens every two years), so if you miss the 2026 edition, you’re waiting until 2028!

It’s taking place in Krakow, which is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

When: May 18–21, 2026
Where: Krakow, Poland
The Vibe: This is actually two conferences in one: the International Radar Symposium (IRS) and the International Conference on Microwaves (MIKON). It attracts a serious industry crowd, not just academics.
Submission Dates: Paper submission usually opens November 2025 and closes late January 2026.
Why Submit: It’s technically co-sponsored by IEEE, meaning your accepted papers get that valuable IEEE Xplore indexing.

2. For the Data Scientists: CEN 2026 (International Biometric Society)

This is a joint conference for the Central European Network (CEN). If your research touches on statistics, biometrics, or life sciences data, this is a prestigious platform.

When: May 18–21, 2026
Where: Warsaw, Poland
Theme: "Power of Data – Shaping the Future of Life Sciences."
Call for Papers: Abstracts are due by November 27, 2025. They are strict on this, so don't procrastinate!
Publication: This is great for networking with European researchers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

3. The Software Innovators: REFSQ 2026

For the software engineers out there, specifically those focused on Requirements Engineering, REFSQ is a staple. It’s known for being highly interactive—they actually encourage live discussions and "live studies" during the event.

When: March 23–26, 2026
Where: Poznan, Poland
Focus: Software quality, requirements engineering, and AI in software dev.
Why Attend: Poznan is a hidden gem of a city—very student-friendly and energetic. Plus, the feedback you get at REFSQ is legendary for being constructive.

4. Materials Science: 3rd World Summit on Polymers and Composite Materials (WSEPCM-2026)

If you are in the hard sciences (chemistry, physics, manufacturing), this summit draws a global crowd. It covers everything from 3D printing polymers to aerospace composites.

When: June 24–26, 2026
Where: Warsaw, Poland
Deadlines: Abstract submission deadline is March 30, 2026.
Bonus: They usually have excellent keynote speakers from major industrial firms, so it's a good place to find career opportunities outside of academia.
