*****************************************************************

The Diagrams conference offers a collective platform for researchers interested in diagrams. It promotes interdisciplinary collaboration by uniting specialists from diverse fields—such as computer science, mathematics, psychology, philosophy, history (including the histories of science and art), education research, and more—to share insights on both the theory and practical uses of diagrams.

Diagrams 2026 will feature three dedicated special tracks: Main, Philosophy and Psychology and Education. Submissions whose primary research contribution aligns with these themes are encouraged to be directed to the relevant track, each overseen by its own program committee. Details of the theme and program committees will be provided in the call for each track.

The conference program will include presentations of accepted papers, posters, and abstracts, as well as a graduate symposium, workshops, and tutorials. At least one author of every accepted submission is expected to attend the conference to present their work and engage with questions from participants.

For information about the topics of interest for each track, see: https://diagrams-conference.org/2026/calls/

SUBMISSION

We invite submissions for peer review that focus on any aspect of diagram research for each track, as follows:

• Long Papers (16 pages)

• Short Papers (8 pages)

• Posters (4 pages – this is both a maximum and minimum requirement)

• Abstracts, i.e. non-archival contributions (3 pages)



Submission date: March 1, 2026.

At least one author of each accepted submission is expected to attend the conference to present their research and respond to questions presented by delegates. Multiple submissions are accepted.

Long Papers, Short Papers, and Posters will be included in the conference proceedings. Abstracts, however, will not appear in the published proceedings but will be made available on the conference website. The Abstracts category is designed for presenting research at the conference without publishing a paper and is not intended for work-in-progress; such work should be submitted as a Poster.
