We warmly invite colleagues from around the world to present their work through the submission of papers, working groups, panels, posters, and tips, techniques, & courseware. The conference provides an environment for sharing, exchanging, and discussing new ideas related to computing education, at all levels of instruction. ITiCSE will also host a doctoral consortium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ITiCSE 2026 will be an in-person conference. There will not be facilities for either presenters or audience members to attend virtually. In line with SIGCSE conference policy, at least one author of each paper, poster, and tips, techniques, & courseware, and all members of working groups, panels, and the doctoral consortium, are required to attend the conference and to present and discuss their contribution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each type of submission is described briefly on this page, and in more detail on its own page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please visit the ACM FAQ for the acceptable use of Generative AI in the creation, editing, and authorship of papers for ITiCSE 2026: https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/policies\/frequently-asked-questions<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions<\/a> in ACM Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy<\/a>. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer: <\/p>\n\n\n\n This represents a 65% discount<\/a>, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a published ACM author, you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications policies (https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/policies\/toc<\/a>), including the policy on research involving human participants and subjects (https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/policies\/research-involving-human-participants-and-subjects<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please also review the ACM authorship policy (https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/policies\/new-acm-policy-on-authorship<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n See the ITiCSE policies page (https:\/\/iticse.acm.org\/policies\/<\/a>) for more information on these and other relevant policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Any submission that makes use of data from human participants (including student surveys, class results, educator interviews, published data sets, etc.) must clearly indicate whether approval has been granted for the use of that data<\/strong>, by what authority (respecting anonymity in the version submitted for review), and what the approval covers. If the work includes any data from human participants that has not been granted approval, that should be clearly explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\nImportant update on ACMs new open access publishing model for 2026 ACM Conferences! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
