Call for Papers

We cordially invite you to submit your papers and posters for the International Conference on Immersive and 3D Audio (I3DA 2025), on September 10-12, 2025.  The Organizing Committee of I3DA is pleased to announce that the I3DA 2025 will be hosted in Piazza Scaravilli, University of Bologna, Italy.

I3DA 2025 will again focus on innovation in 3D immersive audio including architectural acoustics, virtual acoustics, automotive acoustics, subjective evaluations and listening tests, immersive soundscape design and creative uses of immersive technologies. I3DA 2025 would like to involve academic and industrial researchers to share their latest research, methods, and demos related to Immersive and 3D Audio in Audio Engineering. Topics furthermore include virtual/augmented reality and their applications, musical acoustics, signal processing in acoustics, non-linear acoustics in auralisation, machine learning related to acoustics, heritage acoustics, psychoacoustics, 3D audio for gaming, 3D audio in art and sound studies contexts, bioacoustics and the environment. Further topics may be accepted.

I3DA will be indexed on IEEE like the previous year, with Special Issues like last year.

The conference will represent the most recent stages in developing new methodologies and technologies in this field, placing itself as a high-profile international meeting for researchers and other professionals in immersive and 3D audio areas.

Planned timeline:

– December 01, 2024: online abstract submission open

– March 31, 2025: final deadline for abstract submission

– April 7, 2025: notification of abstract acceptance

– June 15, 2025: deadline for complete paper submission

– July 15, 2025: notification of full paper review results

– August 30, 2025: final posters and presentation slide submission for the hybrid conference

– September 30, 2025: tentative deadline for final paper submissions

Anti-Plagiarism Screening
We will conduct to the submitted papers an anti-plagiarism screening to ensure that all papers are clear, authentic and relevant to the conference material.
We submit all papers to the Turnitin and/or Compilatio Scanner.

Please note that once a paper is submitted to I3DA, it cannot be presented to other journals/conferences.

Templates

There are no page limits, but we suggest a maximum of 8-10 pages

Authors can download and use the following templates:

Microsoft Word – A4 (DOC, 30 KB): I3DA2025conference-template-a4

LaTeX Template Instructions (PDF, 63 KB) [Be sure to use the template’s conference mode.]

Publishing Policy

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions for consideration in a special issue with one or more of the partner journals indexed on Scopus and WoS. Only submissions that were presented at the Conference by one of the authors may be invited to a special issue.

Manuscripts have to be submitted to the special issue of the journal according to instructions provided in the invitation letter. Each manuscript will then be reviewed according to the journal policy.

The authors are obliged to inform the conference of the status of their submission in a way provided in the invitation letter.

Indexing

All conferences and conference proceedings must meet IEEEs quality standards, and IEEE reserves the right not to publish any proceedings that do not meet these standards.

Accepted and orally presented papers are submitted to IEEE Xplore.

The IEEE makes every reasonable attempt to ensure that abstracts and index entries of content accepted into the program are included in databases provided by independent abstracting and indexing (A&I) services. Each A&I partner makes its own editorial decision on what content it will index. IEEE cannot guarantee entries are included in any particular database.

IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference or does not comply with IEEE Best Practices.
