• The corresponding “Top Ten Frontier Issues of Simulation Science and Technology” that the achievement primarily addresses;

• The substantive breakthrough achieved relative to existing domestic and international levels;

• The core scientific principles, key technologies, and main scientific and engineering evidence;

• The reproducibility, validation status, or third-party application materials of the achievement;

• The academic, engineering, industrial, or societal impact of the achievement;

• The main completing organization(s), main contributors, and a description of their contributions;

• A statement of conflicts of interest, funding sources, and any relevant ethical considerations;

• 3–5 of the most representative supporting materials, which may include representative papers, patents, software systems, technical reports, testing or validation reports, third-party application evidence, engineering application materials, and the like;

• One publicly releasable “reason for selection,” briefly explaining why the achievement represents an important advance on the relevant frontier issue.

Application materials should be focused, objective, and accurate, and all data, conclusions, and attributions of contribution should be true and reliable. For achievements already made public, please indicate the details of their publication, release, or application; for information that is not public or should not be public, please note this in the application materials.

Applicant organizations or teams are requested to complete the “Application Form for ‘2026 Important Advances in the Top Ten Frontier Issues of Simulation Science and Technology’” and send it, along with the application materials and any supporting materials, to:

Application email: asian_c2026@163.com

The email subject line should be formatted as:

“2026 Important Advances in the Top Ten Frontier Issues – Application + Name of Achievement + Applicant Organization”

Submission deadline:

October 31, 2026.

The same organization may recommend multiple achievements; in principle, the same achievement should not be submitted more than once.

VI. Review and Publication
