Call for abstracts

Abstract submission for the 34th IAHR Biennial Congress - please click here to download a copy of the 1st Announcement Brochure

Abstracts must be submitted using the on-line process no later than 6 August 2010.  Corresponding authors will be advised if their abstract has been accepted in September 2010.  Once accepted, authors have until 28 October 2010 to submit their full paper.   Please note that full papers will also be subject to the review process.

 

An author associated with each accepted paper must register for the Congress and pay their registration fees prior to 26 March 2011 for the paper to be included in the Congress proceedings.

Within the online abstract submission process you will be asked if you want your paper to be considered for oral or poster presentation.  Your abstract submission is limited to 150 words and can be entered directly or cut and pasted from your own document.

You will be asked to nominate your preferred sub-theme during the abstract submission process.  So please identify the sub-theme before proceeding to the online abstract submission section.
