Why submit your abstract to the IWA WWC&E 2018?
• Create new, inspiring solutions to the world’s urban and basin water challenges;
• Validate and disseminate your work by presenting it during a world class Congress;
• Learn and grow professionally through privileged access to the best content, cross-sector knowledge and diverse experiences;
• Expand your network and meet new professional partners by engaging with leading water experts.
What to submit?
Your initial submission must be in the form of an outline paper: two A4 pages of text (approximately 1,000 words) plus up to two additional pages of tables/figures. This must clearly and persuasively summarise your proposed presentation. This must be uploaded to our online submission system before 1 October 2017.
Detailed guidance and templates are available at www.worldwatercongress.org/. If you prefer to present this work as a poster, please note this when you submit your proposal. If your submission is accepted for a platform presentation, you will also have to submit a full paper of between six and eight A4 pages, which can be considered for publication in an IWA journal.
You may submit as many outline papers as you want. However, no individual can present more than two platform papers/ poster – any further papers must be presented by one of the coauthors.
How are papers selected?
Your outline submission and the final full paper (if selected for platform presentations) must be in plain English and clearly define the objectives, status, methodology, findings and significance of the investigation or study. Your submitted outline paper will be peer reviewed by international experts. Programme selections are based on the scores and comments of those reviewers. We expect 1200–1500 submissions, and presenter decisions will be announced in April 2018.
