SET Expo 2026 Congress – R&D Sessions
International Journal of Broadcast Engineering (SET IJBE)
SET invites researchers, industry professionals, faculty members, and students to submit Extended Abstracts for the R&D Sessions of the SET Expo 2026 Congress. Accepted submissions will be published as Final Papers in the International Journal of Broadcast Engineering (SET IJBE).
This initiative aims to bring together relevant contributions that advance research and innovation in media, audiovisual technologies, broadcasting, telecommunications, digital platforms, and interactive experiences, strengthening collaboration between academia and industry.
Submitted papers will undergo peer review and evaluation by the Editorial Committee. Accepted submissions will be presented in person at the SET Expo 2026 Congress, in São Paulo, from August 17–20, 2026, and published as Final Papers in the SET IJBE, SET's international scientific journal, in its August 2026 issue.
The SET IJBE is an open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to disseminating applied and cutting-edge research in media and broadcast engineering. Previous issues are available on the journal's website.
We seek original papers with strong technical rigor and practical relevance that contribute to advancing the state of the art and driving innovation in the media and entertainment industry.
Theoretical, experimental, and applied research is welcome, including work-in-progress studies with clear and meaningful contributions.
All submission materials must be prepared in English and include:
- Paper title
- Abstract (up to 150 words)
- Keywords
- Topics of interest related to the paper
- Extended Abstract (3–4 pages)
The Extended Abstract must be submitted as a PDF file using the IJBE template and in accordance with the submission guidelines available on the submission page.
