Call for Papers
As a Scientific Research Conference Organizer, The Global Academic Research Institute proudly organized the International Conference on Urban Studies & Smart Materials (ICUSSM 2026). We welcome proposals for papers and invitations for abstract submissions, which are now open for both oral and poster presentations covering current research and new processes. All contributions should be of high quality. During the review period, Papers will be reviewed by eminent scholars in the respective areas.
Two types of submissions are invited:
01. Full papers reporting on original and unpublished research.
02. Work-in-progress papers or Abstract or Case Studies or Projects
The conference aims to provide a platform for academics, researchers, professionals, administrators, educational leaders, policymakers, industry representatives, advanced students, and anyone in the domain of interest worldwide to discuss Urban Studies & Smart Materials. Please note that speakers are encouraged to submit a full paper before the conference. In addition, all the submitted full papers will be reviewed by the journal editorial board and a few high-end papers will be published in the GARI e-Journal having ISSN & DOI, and All Selected papers will be published in conference printed proceedings having ISBN as well as a conference library page.
For abstract submission fill in the online submission form or contact helpdesk@gariteam.com. Presentation time allocated 20 mins (15 mins presentation 05 mins questions),
All Selected papers will be published in different Journals
GARI International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (www.research.lk) International Journal of Technological Advancement and Research (Online: ISSN 2424-6395) International Journal of Engineering Science (Online: ISSN 2424-645X) as well as GARI Digital Research Library,
Print & Online proceedings Book will include "Extended Abstracts", should be at least three pages, but not more than five pages in length including the references. The word limit is 1000 - 1200 words.
Note - Offer certificate for co-authors & All Participant Delegates
