Were you at ERGONOMICS 2026?

Keep working with the conference after it ends

Open ERGONOMICS 2026 in Kahubi: every talk searchable in your own workspace, the published ones in your library, and your own talk on its way to a paper.

  • Turn your talk into a paper

    Kahubi finds what has been published since your abstract, drafts the introduction and methods in your own writing style and formats the manuscript for the journal you choose.

  • Every published talk in your library

    Talks from ERGONOMICS 2026 that reach a journal are matched every month. One click adds them to your library, ready to read, annotate and cite.

  • Ask across all 57 talks

    Who works on what, which groups to contact, which talks are closest to your own research. Answers point to the talks themselves.

  • Never miss the next deadline

    Follow the conferences in your field and get reminders before the call for papers closes, in your Kahubi calendar.
