General information

If an abstract is selected for oral, short oral or poster presentation, at least one author must register for the conference and present the work. However, no registration can have more than 2 works linked, regardless of the method of acceptance after the review process. Any subsequent works must be presented by a co-author.

All accepted abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings. Authors of accepted oral/short oral/poster presentations must submit a complete article. Complete articles must have a maximum of eight A4 pages (including figures, tables and references).

Following the peer review process, selected full papers will be considered for publication in special issues of Water Science & Technology (open access only) and Industrial Biotechnology (both open access and subscription options available), subject to each journal’s editorial review. Please note that acceptance of a paper for conference presentation or selection for journal consideration does not guarantee its final acceptance for publication.
