Call for Papers
The SEANAC conferences are held biannualy inturns in countries in the Eastern and Southern African region. The last successful SEANAC conference was hosted by the University of Botswana in 2007.

SEANAC has expanded its horizons to include all African universities who share the vision of promoting analytical chemistry within the continent.
The organisers of the 3rd conference of the Southern and Eastern African Network for Analytical Chemists (SEANAC, Swaziland) therefore cordially invite practioners of analytical chemistry and associated fields for papers in food security and sustainable development. Contributions are invited for both oral and poster presentations. Organisers will seek funding for sponsorship to assist students.
