About the conference
Launched in April 2014 and organised every year by the Institute for Somali Studies (ISOS) at Mogadishu University, ACSOS brings together academics, researchers, students, practitioners, policymakers and public figures to share research on Somalia, the Horn of Africa and the Somali diaspora — bridging scholarship and policy through papers, panels, keynote speeches and student poster sessions.
