The 9th International Meeting on Origami in Science, Mathematics and Education (9OSME) will take place in Xi’an, China between 2nd and 5th August 2027.

The OSME meeting is one of the most important gatherings of the origami community around the world. Previous meetings, held approximately every four years, have been highly successful; the community has grown exponentially, which is demonstrated by the fact that over 200 participants attended in the 8OSME in Australia. The meeting proceedings have become the definitive guide for advanced origami research.

We are fully aware that the success of the meeting is dependent on your active participation. We welcome you if you are origami artists who create artistic objects, mathematicians who model origami or use origami to solve other mathematics problems, scientists who explore folding or biological objects, engineers who use origami to tackle problems in the virtual and real worlds, and educators who use origami to inspire younger generations.

Submission Guidelines

1. Papers for 9OSME follow a TWO-STAGE SUBMISSION PROCESS:

An abstract is submitted first for review;
Upon acceptance, authors are invited to submit a full paper for presentation at the meeting and publication in the proceedings.

2. Both the abstract and the full paper must be prepared using the provided templates. Please make sure that you do NOT change the formatting (fonts, margins, etc.) in any way for this is the format for the proceedings. Once you have completed your document, save/export to a PDF file and then submit it. Only submission in PDF format is accepted. Any non-compliant submissions will be returned to the authors and may be rejected.

3. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. To download the paper template, please go to the official website of the conference: https://www.9osme.org/9osme/submission

4. The proceedings of 9OSME consisting of all accepted full papers will be made available at the meeting, which will then be published as a book entitled "Origami⁹".
