- For abstracts or papers, follow the exact theme, template, word limit, author format and publication rules from the official call.

- Review the agenda and speakers in advance and plan the sessions and people most relevant to your goals.

Official AWS-2026 pages confirm 21–23 September 2026 dates, Adwa Victory Memorial Hall in Addis Ababa, joint organization by ACEWM/Addis Ababa University and Ethiopia’s Ministry of Water and Energy, active registration and onsite registration availability. Because registration has multiple fee tiers, the structured fee is left null and the current official tiers are summarized in the factual copy. The abstract call is closed and is not presented as open. Scholarship support is limited to eligible Ethiopian student presenting authors and is not generalized to all attendees.
