The symposium is oriented at giving young researchers a platform to exchange their research under peers and becoming friends and colleagues all over the world. The symposium will be held under the chair of young researchers, and is being supported by several funding partners, including IFToMM, such as to allow for a bearable conference fee of € 450 including accommodation, meals, excursions, gala dinner, proceedings, and others. The Proceedings with Full Papers will be published in the Springer Nature Series MMS (Mechanism and Machine Science), and best papers will be recommended for publication in Mechanism and Machine Theory. The targeted audience is young researchers in their early and mid-phase, as well as senior researchers supporting young researchers in their development – or feeling young in the heart. Submissions (2-page abstracts or 8-page full papers) are welcome for all topics covered by IFToMM. Together with top-notch contributions, also papers in the initial phase are welcome for discussion and inspiration in a scientifically friendly environment. In order to ease travelling, there will be shuttle services at low cost from Tunis to Monastir. Tunis is better connected to international airports and the travelling fees are lower.

Submission deadline for 2-page abstracts or 8-page papers is and will remain on December 1, 2025. Contributions are welcome at EFI 2026 Symposium Webpage . For any urgency, you may contact the Symposium Chairs.

Preregistration possible under EFI non-binding pre-registration.
