World Water Week is hosted and organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and takes place each year in Stockholm. The World Water Week has been the annual focal point for the globe’s water issues since 1991.
The 2011 World Water Week in Stockholm, August 21-27, is inviting interested individuals or organisations to submit workshop abstracts or proposals to convene a seminar or side event in 2011.
The special theme for the 2011 conference is: “Responding to Global Changes - Water in an Urbanising World".
Proposals for workshop paper and poster presentations for the World Water Week are welcome from experts and actors in different disciplines.
Submit Abstracts
Abstracts can only be submitted via the online form found on the left navigation bar. Submit your abstract early to avoid heavy traffic at the deadline, which may cause errors that prevent successful submission and review of your abstract.
There is no limit to the number of abstracts that may be submitted by one individual, but the Scientific Programme Committee policy imposes a limit of one accepted first author contribution at the World Water Week. Please do not submit your abstract more than once. You will be informed in late April 2011 whether your abstract has been accepted.
Selection Criteria
In general, abstracts for papers and posters in workshops will be evaluated and accepted on the basis of their relevance as well as their scientific quality. In particular, the Scientific Programme Committee will grade the abstracts against the following criteria:
- How the abstract advances knowledge of/innovation within the subject
- The scientific quality and originality of the subject treatment
- The practical applications of the paper’s content
- The capacity of the procedures or practices described to be replicated
The deadline for abstract submittal is February 15, 2011
Please Note: Abstracts not clearly addressed to a specific workshop will not be considered
