Call for Digest

Digest preparation guide from the official IEEE i-COSTE website.

IEEE i-COSTE 2027 will be held at the Marriott Resort in Fiji. The deadline will be announced soon.

We are pleased to host the 12th IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Technology and Engineering (IEEE i-COSTE 2026) Physical and Virtual. IEEE i-COSTE 2026 offers an ideal opportunity for researchers, engineers, academics and students from all over the world to bring the latest technological advances and applications for sustainable Engineering to i-COSTE, as well as to network and promote the discipline.

Cutting edge researchers in this field will present keynote speeches during a three-day program featuring tutorials and technical sessions on theory, analysis, design, testing, and modern engineering advances. The theme of IEEE i-COSTE is “Sustainable Technology for Humanity & Global Impact”.

Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements.

Top accepted full papers will be selected for publication in various Science Citation Index Extended (SCIE) and Scopus indexed journals. Once selected, any Article Processing Charges (APCs) need to be paid by the authors.

The Organizing Committee invites researchers and academics to submit their research and attend the conference.
