It is our pleasure to invite you to join the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Chemical Sensors and Analytical Chemistry (CSAC 2027), to be held online from 16 to 18 June 2027 online.

Chemical sensors are widely used as early-warning systems due to their low cost, high accuracy, immunity to harsh environmental conditions, and other advantages, playing an ongoing and critical role in our society.

The scope of this online conference is to bring together experts well-known worldwide who are currently working in chemical sensor technologies and analytical chemistry, and to provide an online forum for presenting and discussing new results.

Throughout this event, we aim to cover, among others, the following topics:

S1. Electrochemical devices and sensors.
S2. Optical chemical sensors.
S3. Nanostructures and materials for chemical sensing.
S4. Applied chemical sensors.
S5. Lab-on-a-chip technologies and advanced instrumental analysis.
S6. (Bio)chemical sensing.
S7. AI, machine learning and data processing in chemical sensing.

We hope you will join us and present your work at CSAC 2027 to be part of this stimulating online experience.

Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Nicole Jaffrezic-Renault
University of Franche-Comté, France
Prof. Dr. Jinming Lin
Tsinghua University, China

CSAC 2027 will accept abstracts only. The accepted abstracts will be available online on Sciforum.net during and after the conference.

Important Deadline:
1. Deadline for abstract submission: 16 February 2027.
2. Abstract acceptance notification: 16 March 2027.

Please note:
An abstract acceptance email only confirms that your abstract has been accepted. Oral or poster presentation invitations are determined separately by the conference chairs, and you will receive an additional email with the presentation result.

If you do not have an account, please register at www.sciforum.net. After logging in, submit your abstract using the “Submit Abstract” button on the conference homepage. No template is required.

Abstract Requirements

1. Types of Submissions
- Accepted: Original research abstracts; systematic reviews or meta-analyses abstracts (must comply with PRISMA 2020).
- Not accepted: Narrative, scoping, comparative, perspective, opinion, or essay-style reviews.

2. Content Requirements
- Length: 200–300 words.
- Structure: Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions.
- Language: Clear, publication-ready English.
- Originality: Must be original and unpublished; previously published abstracts will not be considered.

3. Authorship
All listed authors must have made substantial contributions to the work, participated in drafting or critically revising the abstract, and approved the final version. The submitting (presenting) author is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the submission, including its content and authorship order.

Requests for changes to authorship (including the addition, removal, or reordering of authors) after submission must be submitted using a signed Authorship Change Form, with written consent from all affected authors. Such requests are subject to review and approval by the Conference Organizing Team. All authors share collective responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and ethical compliance of the submitted work.

Authors may submit multiple abstracts, but only one abstract per author may be selected for an oral presentation.

1. Each abstract must designate one presenter. To change the presenter, please contact us after you receive the oral/poster presentation invitation.
2. Only live presentations are accepted.
3. Presenters who do not attend the live session will not be eligible for awards or presentation certificates.

The slot for the oral presentation is 15 mins. We advise that your presentation lasts for a maximum of 12 mins, leaving at least 3 mins for the Q&A session.

Authors are encouraged to prepare presentations using PowerPoint or equivalent software for online display alongside their abstract. If provided, slides will be presented directly on the conference website via the Sciforum.net slide viewer and should be prepared in the same format as a traditional conference presentation of research results. All slides must be converted to PDF format prior to submission to ensure accurate online display.

Each presentation should:
- Communicate the research question or objective, methodology, key results, and scientific novelty;
- Use a clear and logical structure, typically Introduction-Methods-Results&Discussion structure (IMRaD) or a field-appropriate alternative;
- Emphasize the relevance of the work;
- Support key findings with clear figures or tables where appropriate;
- Conclude with a critical interpretation of the results and their impact.

Posters should be designed to allow independent understanding of the research and clearly present the essential elements of the study.

Each poster should include:
- Title, authors, affiliations, and contact details (clearly displayed at the top);
- Brief introduction outlining the research objective;
- Concise methodology summary;
- Main results, supported by clear, well-labeled figures or tables where appropriate;
- Short conclusion summarizing key findings and their relevance.

Technical specifications:
Dimensions (cm): 84.1 × 118.9 (A0 - portrait)
Resolution: 300 dpi
Pixel size (portrait, 300 dpi): 9933 × 14043 px
Minimum font size: ≥24

The poster template can be downloaded HERE. We will reach out to you closer to the dates of the conference with more information.

Note: The uploaded poster may be used as provided and serves as a reference. However, as long as the technical specifications are followed, scholars are welcome to use any poster template of their choice.

Any request concerning abstract or proceedings paper withdrawal should be communicated to the Conference Organizing Team as early as possible, preferably prior to final acceptance and confirmation of the conference program. Please note that once abstracts are published in the Conference Report or once Proceedings papers are published in the Proceedings journal and assigned a DOI, they become part of the permanent scholarly record and cannot be fully removed.

AI policy
The responsible use of generative AI tools in the preparation of abstracts, posters, and presentations is permitted; however, any such use must be clearly disclosed, specifying the tool employed and its role. Authors retain full responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of their work.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
Authors must disclose any financial, professional, or personal relationships that could reasonably be perceived as influencing the integrity, interpretation, or presentation of their work. Failure to provide accurate disclosures may result in the removal of the abstract from the conference program and associated publications.

If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.
