Abstract Guidelines 

The UDM Conference Organizers invite you to submit a 3-page extended abstract for consideration. Please download the abstract template for full instructions. IAHR/IWA or EWRI membership is encouraged, but not required for submission. Submitters whose abstracts are accepted for presentation, whether oral or poster, are expected to register for and attend the UDM Conference 2022 in their preferred mode.

  •  You are available to present at any time and in the format that UDM Conference organizers assign your presentation (Jan 10-12, 2022). 
  • It is mandatory that you register and pay for the conference by Dec. 1, 2021. Should an author confirm the final version of their abstract but fail to register by the deadline, the unregistered presenter will be removed from the conference program and proceedings. 
  • Final versions of extended abstracts are due by Oct. 15, 2021. Full papers are not requested.
  • Final versions of posters are due by Dec. 1, 2021.
