Abstract Submissions

All interested researchers and practitioners are invited to select a Conference Theme - see the Call for Abstracts - and submit a relevant abstract of at least 500 words and no longer than 1000 words as part of the registration.

The deadline for abstract submission to the Africa Climate Conference (ACC-2013) is set to May 31, 2013.

Those selected for oral presentations will be notified by July 1st, 2013, and invited to produce extended abstracts to be included in the conference proceedings.

Efforts are currently underway to secure funding for scientists and researchers to attend the ACC-2013, particularly young Africa-based researchers and female scientists. Preference will be accorded to those whose abstracts have been accepted. Interested participants needing funding assistance to attend the ACC-2013, should specify such need on their abstract submission form.

Registration Fee

A registration fee of 250 USD has been set to cover the cost of the venue and daily catering costs (coffee breaks and lunch). Participants can apply for financial assistance to attend the Conference and the registration fee will be included in the funding package

Financial Assistance

A limited number of travel grants will be available to enable and support participation of students, early career scientists and scientists from developing countries to attend the conference. Grants will be assigned based on the financial need and scientific merit of the proposed presentations described in the abstracts, the contribution to the conference and all supporting documents (see below). Priority will be given to:

  • Students: those pursuing their graduate studies (MSc, PhD)
  • Early Career Scientists: post-graduates and researchers who received their highest degree in 2008 or later
  • Scientists from emerging and developing economies

Apply for financial support as part of the registration. You are strongly encouraged to include the following to support your application:

1. An abstract of a paper to the conference, of which he/she is the principal author

2. A document that includes the following information: a brief CV, short motivation statement (e.g. expected benefits from attending the conference), a signed recommendation letter from supervisor/director of host laboratory and information on the funding request, eg estimate of cost of flight and any other sources of funding that will contribute to you support your attendance.

The Scientific and Technical Committee will review all the applications and select the successful candidates based on the importance of their contributions to the conference. Successful applicants will be notified on the result of the selection process in due time.

The number of financial support awards is limited and we recommend applicants to provide all useful information and supporting documentation to make their case. Grantees must attend the entire conference in order to benefit from the financial support which covers the registration fees and reasonable travel and accommodation expenses. People selected for financial support will have the registration fee waived, pending the award decision.
