Please email abstracts to info@eacosha.com / info@shau.org.ug as soon as possible and by 15 May 2026 at the latest. The current job title and a short CV of each author/co-author should be included.

Abstracts should summarize precisely the scope and content of the paper proposed. No artwork is required at this stage. In the case of any project described, please mention its current status or date of completion. Please incorporate the author’s name in the file name.

Please note: abstracts should only be submitted if the author plans to attend the conference (or send a repres­entative if unable to attend). Speakers are eligible for reduced registration fees (about 50 per cent of the full fees). Technical abstracts will generally be reviewed by two or more experts from our Scientific and Technical Committee, and authors may be asked to modify some aspects of the proposed paper.

Full papers will be required by 28 July 2026 and format guidelines will be sent to all authors whose papers are accepted. If your proposed paper is accepted, you will be asked to sign a form confirming willingness to attend. As organisers we require this firm commitment, on acceptance of papers, to ensure that time allocated for an oral presentation is not wasted close to the date of the conference.

The papers accepted for the conference will be made available to all Conference delegates. Please do not submit an abstract unless you agree to provide a full paper later.
