36th WEDC International Conference

The content of the conference is set by you, the participants, and your recent experience. Conference contributions are grouped into similar topics to form themes.  Formal contributions can be either posters or oral presentations. Presentations are accompanied by a paper, which may take two forms. 

1.  Briefing papers are direct accounts of projects, activities or on-going programmes, ideal for sharing field experience and recording successes and  failures. They need to indicate what lessons have been learnt so far.

2.  Refereed papers are more structured and show elements of new knowledge, clear process, evidence of literature reviews, primary data collection, in depth analysis that supports the conclusions. Selected refereed papers will be considered for inclusion in a special issue of the journal Municipal Engineer.

These are reviewed by an International Scientific Committee of specialist researchers and sector professionals.More detailed guidance for authors is available on the conference website.  

All contributions presented at the conference will be freely available on-line after the event.

We aim to review all papers within 3 weeks of submission.

 

Deadline for initial submissions: 15 February 2013

Authors will have the opportunity to make corrections and clarifications.

Reviewers comments must be incorporated

 

It is vital that the deadline dates for submissions are adhered to in order to allow time for reviewers to assess the paper and to give authors opportunity to make corrections, and ensure inclusion of papers in the conference pre-prints and programme. 

Accepted papers and posters to be presented at the conference will appear in the Pre-prints. Afterwards, the Proceedings will be available on CD and papers will be available for free download from the WEDC Knowledge Base. We also welcome contributions by organisations who may wish to:

1.  Convene a side event
