About the conference
The 13th edition of a multidisciplinary research forum that has run since 2018 — now fully virtual, free to attend and free to publish in.
A conference built around the researcher, not the venue
The International Multidisciplinary Conference on Current Research Trends (IMCCRT) began as a small annual meeting for scholars who found that their work sat awkwardly between disciplines. Twelve editions later it remains exactly that: a place where a nursing researcher, a materials engineer and a legal scholar can present on the same day, to an audience that asks better questions precisely because it comes from elsewhere.
The 2026 edition is organised by Rawbit Foundation in association with HM Publishers, an open access publisher operating 26 peer-reviewed journals. That relationship is what makes the conference's core promise workable: presentation and publication in one process, at no cost to the author.
Everything happens online. There is no registration fee, no travel budget to negotiate and no visa to arrange — which in practice means the room includes people who would otherwise never be able to attend.
What this conference sets out to do
Surface current trends
Give visibility to research that reflects where each discipline is actually moving, not where it was five years ago.
Cross the boundaries
Put methods and vocabulary from different fields in the same session so that transferable ideas get noticed.
Make publication accessible
Remove cost as a barrier between a good paper and a citable, indexed, permanently archived record of it.
Widen participation
Let scholars from institutions without travel funding present to an international audience on equal terms.
Support early-career researchers
Give doctoral scholars and first-time authors structured reviewer feedback they can act on.
Hold the line on quality
Double-blind review, similarity screening and COPE-aligned ethics for every submission, without exception.
The room you will be presenting to
IMCCRT 2026 is open to anyone doing serious research work, at any career stage. Past editions have drawn a mix that stays deliberately broad.
- Faculty members and academic researchers across all disciplines
- Doctoral and post-doctoral scholars presenting thesis chapters
- Postgraduate students submitting their first conference paper
- Clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals
- Practising engineers, architects and technologists
- Industry researchers, analysts and R&D teams
- Policy researchers, legal scholars and social scientists
- Independent researchers and NGO practitioners
