The paper submission and reviewing will be conducted via EquinOCS Conference Proceeding Submission System from Springer Nature, which should fairly straightforward to use. For questions regarding the usage thereof, please check the user manual here. Also, please feel free to contact the program chairs, Hao Wang (h.wang@liacs.leidenuniv.nl) or Ke Li (K.Li@exeter.ac.uk) if you have any issues.  

Importantly, there are two tracks of EMO 2023:

• The conference main track, and 
• The Multi-Criteria Decision-Making track (MCDM).  

Please pay attention to this when you submit the paper since the expectation and knowledge of the reviewers will differ in those two tracks.

Accepted papers will appear in Springer’s LNCS proceedings.  The proceedings of previous EMO conferences can be accessed here (you can also find the book metrics). The submission is limited to 12 pages excluding the references.

Springer also encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in the paper. Also, when submitting the camera-ready version, the corresponding author MUST sign a Consent-to-Publish form, on behalf of all authors of the paper.
