[Imy Khan]

Dear colleagues,
apologies for any cross-posting

This is the final call for papers for this year's ALIFE 2025 conference.
Please also see below for details on how to apply for a special extension for submitting your manuscript.

Key Submission Deadlines:

Full Papers and Summaries: May 4th, 2025 May 11th, 2025
Late Breaking Abstracts: July 4th, 2025 September 8th, 2025

New! Submission Deadline: 10-day Special Extension Application
[Apply before 11/05/2025. Applications granted on a first-come, first-served basis.]

Not 100% sure you can make the submission deadline on time?

A 10-day deadline extension (to May 21st 2025) for submitting a manuscript* may be exceptionally granted under the following conditions:

1. Some of the authors of the manuscript are reviewers for the conference, or are willing and qualified to become reviewers.
2. Among those authors who are reviewers, 2 (1 for single author manuscripts) must commit to become Super Reviewers, i.e. review a total of [normal review load + 1] papers (currently, the maximum review load is estimated to be 4 papers, so review load + 1 = 5 papers)
3. The authors accept that there will be no bidding on their paper (reviewer matching will be based on keywords)

To apply for a Special Deadline Extension, send an email to lana.sinapayen at gmail.com<mailto:lana.sinapayen at gmail.com> before May 11th, with the subject:
