Work between the tracks
Many contributions belong to more than one track: a metasurface antenna, a terahertz biosensor, an inverse method for antenna design. Choose the track closest to the main result; the committee may move a paper to another track, or to a symposium or special session where it fits better. Symposia and special sessions have their own tracks in the submission portal. Theory, computation, experiment, fabrication, characterisation and application are reviewed on the same four criteria.
