Present your work

Presentations on inspirational ideas and technical progress are invited to present at RISC-V Summit Europe in Bologna, from Monday June 8th to Thursday June 11th 2026.

Call for technical submissions

Taking place from June 8-12th, 2026, the RISC-V Summit Europe will have a plenary session of keynotes, panels, and technical talks, alongside an exhibition showcasing the latest developments across industry and research, including demonstrations and poster sessions. Developers, architects, technical management, enthusiasts, business persons, and policy makers across the RISC-V ecosystem meet together to shape the future of RISC-V computing in Europe, and additionally serve as a bridge between continents.

The RISC-V Summit Europe covers a broad spectrum of technical areas and domains. Attendees from industry, academia, research, SMEs, and open source communities will come together to exchange knowledge, ideas, technologies, and research. Therefore, the Program Committee brings the possibility to contributors of submitting their work either for blind or non-blind review. Submissions with a strong focus on technical content are invited, whereas sales or marketing pitches are strongly discouraged in this call for submissions (but welcome in the exhibition). Submissions may include, but are not limited to present:

  • Timely research advances.
  • Technical introduction to new technologies.
  • Lessons learnt from adopting, engaging, designing, and/or developing RISC-V IPs (hardware or software).
  • Industry vertical applications of RISC-V technologies (e.g., automotive, data centers, edge-AI, IoT…).
  • Technical explorations of new RISC-V based products and services (not marketing).
  • Experiences of contributions to, or adoption of RISC-V hardware and software in commercial, open-source or education environments.
  • Exposure of new research topics and PhD early stages.

Topics of interest

Any submission should address one of the following RISC-V topics of interest:

  • Security and functional safety
  • Energy efficiency and green computing
  • High-performance computing
  • Vertical application domain (e.g. Embedded systems, IoT, edge computing, automotive, cloud computing)
  • Open-source chip design flow (hardware, processes, tools…)
  • Operating system and software ecosystem
  • Compilation and code optimization
  • Verification and formal methods
  • Systems-on-Chip, cores, RISC-V ISA extensions, accelerators, peripherals
  • Hardware/software co-design
  • RISC-V related educational activities
  • Contributions/Advancements from publicly funded projects
  • Spin-off experiences: from research to industry

Submission format

The Program Committee will accept most contributions as posters and some selected submissions for presentations. The submitted extended abstracts shall be publishable standalone short papers, not summaries for longer upcoming papers.

Option 1: blind submission

Blind submissions are targeting contributions highly related with Research, Development, and/or innovation (R&D&i) activities. No matter whether the activity is developed by a research, academic, or industrial institution.

Submissions for blind review must be anonymized, removing any detail that may indicate the authors of the abstract or their affiliation. This information can be included in the final submission after acceptance.

Submissions should be provided as a two page extended abstract.

Templates are available HERE.

Option 2: non-blind submission

Non-blind submissions are targeting contributions that are hard to anonymize, such as technical presentations of new commercial products/services, which contain technical insights, or presentations of publicly funded projects. These submissions must be relevant for tcommunity by contributing to strengthening the ecosystem, or allowing to enable and/or foster industry adoption. Commercial marketing contributions are very much welcome in our event but only accessible as part of the sponsoring packages.

Submissions should be provided either as an extended abstract, up to two pages in length, or as a short technical report tackling the following aspects: 1. Short summary of the contribution, 2. Why is this important for the community/industry adoption, 3. How this work contributes to enable/foster the ecosystem, and 4. Target audience.

Templates are available HERE.

Submission process

The submission process is very easy:

  • Register on the platform: cfp.riscv-europe.org/eu-summit-2026/cfp.
  • Click Submit a proposal and select Paper submission
  • Fill the mandatory information:
    1. Authors’ information
    2. Submission’s title
    3. Abstract (max 250 words)
    4. Submission option (blind or non-blind). Blind by default.
    5. (Optional) Activate the check box in case your submission should be considered for a technical talk. Only poster by default
    6. (Optional) Select if you come from LMIC (Low and Medium Income Country). This information will be used for statistical purposes.
    7. Upload your contribution in pdf format (max 10 MB)

Once registered, the information might be updated until the submission deadline. After that date, no modifications will be allowed, except on the authors’ information (for notification purposes).

Acceptance

Please, bear in mind that accepted posters and talks must have, at least, one of the authors registered at the event to be presented and having their material (abstracts, slides, posters, and recording presentations) published on the RISC-V Europe Summit’s web site.

The acceptance notification will be issued at least one week before the expiration of the early-bird time. The Program Committee will ask for uploading the final version of the poster/presentation (limit 20 MB) before the event to confirm acceptance at the according deadlines.
