On behalf of the higher committee at the UAEU, we are delighted to invite you to join us in the Eighth International Conference on Engineering Geophysics on April 14-16, 2026. To be held on UAEU campus in the Garden City of Al Ain, UAE.

Submission Guidelines

• All abstracts must be submitted in electronic form using the conference templates through EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=iceg2026.
• Submissions must be original and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Abstracts must be written in English and checked carefully for correct grammar. All figures must be of high quality. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable.
• Detailed formatting and preparation instructions are included in the template; please read them carefully.
• To ensure high scientific quality, all abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee. Authors will be notified of the results via email once the review process is complete. Authors are required to use the reviewers' feedback to improve their abstract before the final submission.
• All accepted abstracts will be published in the ICEG2026 Conference Proceedings.
• Furthermore, authors of accepted abstracts are encouraged to submit a full paper for post-conference publication in an indexed book series by Springer Nature. These full papers will undergo a second review, and acceptance will be based on quality and scope. Selected papers from the Innovation Award in Geophysics will be considered for publication in the book series.
