Call for Extended Abstracts

[Extended Deadline: 30 November 2024]

IAHR and the Congress Organising Group invite you to take part in the 41st IAHR World Congress in Singapore from 22 to 27 June 2025. Themed "Innovative Water Engineering for Sustainable Development", the Congress will focus on the importance of innovative water engineering towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets related to water resources. By placing a spotlight on innovative water engineering, the event aims to contribute to the advancement of these SDGs in both rural and urban environments, towards a resilient society for the well-being of current and future generations.

The Congress shall be organized around two main themes: Water Engineering and Technological Innovations and Water Engineering and Socio-Economic Considerations, together with the relevant subthemes. We are pleased to announce that the online extended abstract submission process is now open. All extended abstracts will be peer-reviewed, and the Congress International Scientific Committee (ISC) will inform contributors if their abstract has been selected by January 2025. Authors who would like to write a full paper for proceedings (not necessary for participating at the conference if not wished by the author) will then have an 8-week period to submit their full paper, after which they will be reviewed for final acceptance. You can read the detailed instructions in the corresponding section.

Guidelines

For the extended abstract to be presented in the congress, the presenting author of each accepted extended abstract must be fully registered at the indicated time.

After you are notified that your Extended Abstract has been accepted as an Oral Presentation, you can decide if you wish to send a Paper (longer than 4 pages) to be included in the Proceedings of the 41st IAHR World Congress. Extended abstracts accepted only as Posters will not be included in the Proceedings.

If you decide not to send a paper, your Extended Abstract will be included in a Book of Abstracts with internal organizational purposes only.

Otherwise if your paper is published in the Proceedings, we encourage you to further improve the paper after the Congress (with at least 60% more in content) and submit it to an IAHR Journal.
