Call for sessions
The submission for session proposals is NOW open!
Please complete the proposal form and email to water@leeds.ac.uk using “WQ2012 session proposal” in the subject line.
You are invited to submit a session proposal for Water Quality 2012. The deadline for submission has been extended to 02 December 2011. After this, all session proposals will be evaluated by the scientific committee. Session proposers will be informed if their session is selected for inclusion between 18 November and 20 December 2011.
As a session organiser you may actively seek the submission of abstracts among colleagues. You will be asked to review both the solicited and non-solicited abstracts submitted to the proposed topic, and propose a session programme (including oral and poster presentations) to the scientific committee. The scientific committee, in consultation with the session organiser/s, will agree the final programme.
If your proposal results in a session at Water Quality 2012, you will be invited to chair this session at the meeting. The role of a Session Chair at the meeting is to give a short introduction at the start of the session, chair the session to ensure it runs to time and give a short summary of the presentations at the end of the session. Also you will be asked to provide a written summary to the scientific committee for inclusion in the conference proceedings (published online) and for use in the closing plenary session to highlight the key points arising from the conference.
Your session proposal should have the following format:
• Session title: max 100 characters, reading as a normal sentence;
• Session description / motivation: max 500 words;
• Topic: please choose one of the following topics within the framework of
"Protecting Our Water Resources: Issues for a Changing World":
