The OAS Summit of Engineering for the Americas

22nd LACCEI International Multi-Conference for Engineering, Education and Technology

Sustainable Engineering for a Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Future at the Service of Education, Research, and Industry for a Society 5.0.
July 17-19, 2024 (Hybrid) – San Jose, Costa Rica

LACCEI 2024 will be held in in person at Crowne Plaza San Jose and virtually through Agora Meetings Platform.

The LACCEI conference accepts unpublished papers written in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. All accepted and presented papers are published in the proceedings with ISSN, ISBN. Full papers (FP) undergo double-blind review, and if accepted and presented, are published with DOI, and processed for evaluation by Scopus and other indexes. While Work in Progress (WP) submissions undergo single-blind review, are presented as posters and published in the conference proceedings. Submissions to the Student Paper (SP) competition undergo single-blind review. The top 10 finalists compete in a technical presentation and are published with DOI and submitted for indexation. The winner receives an all expense paid trip and registration to compete in the global competition. 2024 LACCEI Active member Institutions receive registration benefits. Starting this year, LACCEI will internally classify FP into 4 categories: review paper, data research, software paper, and general research. There is a limit of 3 papers per author (includes co-author) and 7 authors per paper.
