Submission of Abstracts and Papers
All abstracts will be handled and reviewed electronically via the conference's EasyChair submission https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=20wnsymp. Note that you will need to set up an EasyChair account (if you do not already have one) before you login for your submission. Several roles have been set on the platform for the 20th WaterNet/WAFSA/GWP Symposium, kindly register as an author, all other roles will be done through invitation. When completing the submission form on EasyChair, you will see a space which asks for an abstract to be typed in or pasted. Kindly copy and paste your abstract here. Further down the page you will upload your full abstract as a pdf attachment. You should receive confirmation of submission of your abstract from EasyChair immediately after submission by email; if you have not, please bear in mind that any emails received might be found in your spam folder.
The submission form in EasyChair also asks you:
- Your theme, your preferred presentation type/paper or a poster (note that the final decision will be taken by the programme committee)
- Whether you are under 35 years old
- Any keywords that do not appear in the topics list that may facilitate the review process
