About EICC 2025

EICC 2025 aims at establishing a premium venue for the exchange of information and sharing of research findings on cybersecurity and its many aspects between academics and practitioners in Europe. EICC 2025 encourages the dialogue between computer scientists and researchers in all other fields related to cybersecurity, such as behavioral sciences, sociology, criminology, investigations and law. Interdisciplinary contributions are especially welcome.

EICC 2025 is the 9th edition of the conference, which until 2019 was known as the Central European Cybersecurity Conference – CECC, being rebranded to underscore the interdisciplinarity of the conference and broaden its reach.

Submission Guidelines

The official language of the conference is English. Papers are limited to 16 pages and up to 4 additional pages with mandatory surcharges.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Authors are expected to adhere to the best practices in terms of scientific integrity as mentioned in the Publishing Ethics section of the guidelines. The following paper categories are welcome:

• Full papers reporting on original research findings (12-15+ pages)
• Short papers reporting on original research findings (6-11 pages)

Papers submitted to EICC 2025 have to use the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science Proceedings Template . Please, read template instructions carefully before submitting the paper. The use of the LaTeX template is strongly encouraged. Non-proficient LaTeX users are encouraged to use the Overleaf online collaborative Latex platform ( LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates on Overleaf ).

The quality of the research papers will be assessed based on its originality, significance and clarity.

All submitted research papers will undergo a double-blind reviewing process. Please, make sure that submitted papers do not contain author names or obvious self-references. Please note that the page limit applies to camera-ready papers with author names included and not the submitted anonymized version.

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Afterwards, a discussion will be held by the chairs and reviewers to determine the outcomes of the peer-review.

Submission of a paper implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference if the paper is accepted. If an author has more than one accepted paper, each additional accepted paper costs the same as the regular registration fee.

Submission of papers should be performed using the EICC 2025 submission system (EasyChair is the underlying conference management system).

Full papers can exceed the page limit by a maximum of 4 pages. Each additional page above the page limit will be charged 50 EUR on top of the registration fee.
