Before finalising and uploading your submission through the Oxford Abstracts platform, please review the following guidelines carefully.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>Submission Deadlines<\/h3>\n<ul>\n  <li>Abstract submission deadline: <strong>19 January 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n  <li>Workshop proposal submission deadline: <strong>19 January 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n  <li>Early abstract deadline for visa applications: <strong>6 October 2025<\/strong><\/li>\n  <li>Notification of acceptance: <strong>15 March 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>General Guidelines<\/h3>\n<p>\nAuthors are invited to submit an abstract or workshop proposal via the Oxford Abstracts submission system. Abstracts should not exceed two pages and may include figures, tables, and diagrams. The required format includes:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Title<\/li>\n  <li>Authors and affiliations<\/li>\n  <li>Five keywords<\/li>\n  <li>Brief introduction<\/li>\n  <li>Method<\/li>\n  <li>Results<\/li>\n  <li>Conclusions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>\nSubmissions must be completed through the platform. You will also be asked to provide additional details, such as author roles, presenting author, whether the author is a Young Water Professional, preferred presentation format, and the <a href=\"\/index.php\/themes\">conference theme<\/a> under which the abstract is submitted.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>Presentation Format<\/h3>\n<p>\nDuring submission, authors can indicate a preferred presentation format:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Oral presentation<\/li>\n  <li>Poster presentation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThe organisers will do their best to accommodate preferences, but the final format depends on availability, review outcomes, and the goal of ensuring a balanced programme.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>Multiple Submissions<\/h3>\n<p>\nAuthors may submit multiple abstracts, but each submission must be completed separately. Each author is expected to present only one paper at the conference. However, an author may appear as co-author on different submissions presented by others.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>Abstract Review<\/h3>\n<p>\nAll abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Programme Committee. Evaluations will focus on relevance to the WIN2026 themes, clarity of objectives, novelty, scientific quality, and contribution to the field. Final decisions regarding acceptance and presentation format will be communicated by <strong>15 March 2026<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nAuthors will be asked to confirm their participation. Unconfirmed presentations will be removed from the programme.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>Authors Who Need a Visa<\/h3>\n<p>\nFor authors who require a visa to enter the Netherlands, an early abstract submission is recommended. Please submit your abstract by <strong>6 October 2025<\/strong> and indicate your visa need in the submission form. You will receive a notification of acceptance by <strong>15 February 2026<\/strong> to support your visa application.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>Abstract Submission Template<\/h3>\n<p>\nYou can edit and update your submission until <strong>15 December 2025<\/strong>. Please make sure to complete all required steps. Incomplete submissions will not be considered for review or inclusion in the programme.\n<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"max-width: 750px; margin: 2rem auto;\">\n  <a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/win2026.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WIN2026-Template-extended-abstract.doc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n    \ud83d\udcc4 Download Extended Abstract Template (Word)\n  <\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>Workshop Proposals<\/h3>\n<p>\nWe welcome interactive workshop proposals of either 1.5 or 3 hours.

Young Water Professionals are especially encouraged to propose workshops.\n<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"max-width: 750px; margin: 2rem auto;\">\n  <a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/app.oxfordabstracts.com\/stages\/79435\/submitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n    Submit your abstract or workshop\n  <\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nWorkshops will be scheduled during the weekend prior to the main conference: on Saturday and Sunday.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>Workshop Submission<\/h3>\n<p>\nPlease submit your workshop proposal via the Oxford Abstracts platform.
