Deadline for all content: July 27, 2023
See below for submission of Technical Abstracts, Sessions Proposals, and Workshop Proposals. For queries regarding technical abstract submission, please contact wrrmod2024@nd.edu.
Technical Abstracts
Technical abstracts will be selected for presentation by the scientific committee based on novelty, practical applicability, and scientific quality. Authors are encouraged to highlight how their work contributes to solving a practical problem in the application of water resource recovery modelling for the identified topic areas. Accepted abstracts must provide a full manuscript to be included in the conference proceedings. To qualify, technical abstracts must adhere to the template below. Total technical abstract length will be four pages, including figures, tables, and references.

Session Proposals
Session proposals may be used when a collection of diverse modellers identify a key question or topic that could benefit from a facilitated discussion for consensus-building over an extended period of time. Proposed sessions be 1.5 hours in length and will largely adhere to the standard format of the WRRmod seminar – two technical presentations followed by a 30-minute facilitated discussion. However, these sessions will also include a short introduction to frame the topic and the overall goal. Session proposals must include a summary introducing the key questions for discussion and the goals for the desired outcome, followed by abstracts describing the presentations that includes figures, tables, and key points that will be presented. The session proposal will also describe the plan for facilitated discussion during the 30-minute facilitated discussion period. Session proposals will be selected based on clarity of the need for consensus-building, quality of the technical content, diversity of perspectives presented, and the approach to debate and discussion facilitation. Accepted proposals will be required to submit a manuscript to be included in the conference proceedings that outlines the key technical points and basis for consensus building. Preliminary conclusions can be presented in this paper, with the intent that the conclusions would be updated based on discussions for further paper development. The proceedings will also include a session summary. To qualify, the overall session proposal must adhere to the template below. Total session proposal length should not exceed six pages including session summary, facilitated discussion approach and presentation abstracts.

Workshops Proposals
The technical workshops will be selected based on quality, relevance, representativeness (e.g., academia/industry, gender, source of origin), thematic timeliness, and consensus-forming or debate-inducing potential. All workshops will be half a day and migration of speakers between concurrent workshops will not be allowed. The half a day format will provide the opportunity for workshops to focus on a single key question or theme, with the goal of facilitating more targeted conversations and debates. If a full day workshop is desired, two half day workshops may be proposed. However, the authors should ensure each half day session is beneficial without attending the companion workshop. To qualify, workshop proposals must adhere to the format described in the template below. Workshop proposals shall be submitted to the link below, and also posted to the WRRmod2024 LinkedIn page to facilitate comments and discussion from potential attendees. The maximum acceptable length for a workshop proposal is 2 pages incorporating all text, references, figures and tables. This does not include abstracts for the proposed workshop speakers, which should be included in an appendix.
