Anywhere on Earth, UTC−12

AoE to UK time

Anywhere on Earth (AoE, UTC−12) is 12 hours behind UK time (GMT/BST) in standard time, and 13 hours behind while the UK and Ireland observe daylight saving time.

 

When is a “23:59 AoE” deadline in UK?

23:59 AoE = 11:59 next day (UTC+0)

23:59 AoE = 12:59 next day (UTC+1)

So a paper due “15 May, 23:59 AoE” can still be submitted until 11:59 next day in UK, adjusted for daylight saving as above.

Upcoming conference deadlines in UK time

Questions

Is AoE ahead of or behind UK?

Behind. AoE is the last timezone on Earth, so it’s always earlier there than in the UK and Ireland. When a date ends in AoE, it has already ended everywhere else.

Does AoE change with daylight saving time?

No. AoE is fixed at UTC−12 all year. UK time (GMT/BST) does change, so the gap is 12 hours in standard time and 13 hours during daylight saving.

Why do conferences use AoE?

It’s the latest timezone, so no author anywhere loses part of the final day. If it’s still the deadline date somewhere on Earth, you’re on time. More about AoE.
