Invitation from the organising committee:

With the absence of face-to-face conferences over the past two years the 1st Water-WISER Early Career Researcher’s Conference on transdisciplinary perspectives on water and waste challenges, will be a golden opportunity for researchers and professionals alike to reconnect and network in person.

This conference has been developed by Early Career Researcher’s (ECR), with ECR’s in mind, as conferences are an amazing platform to promote interdisciplinary research, all while bringing together academics, and professionals from a variety of backgrounds with a common goal. This year Water-WISER’s ECR conference aims to bring together a multitude of cohorts from different doctoral training programmes, independent researchers, and various industrial and charitable stakeholders, to bring an all-inclusive opportunity for researchers to inform and excite a larger audience on the value of their research in emerging developments in Water.

We have devised a number of sessions to encompass the vast array of topics included in water research. Conferences are only as good as their participants and we encourage you to actively participate in this conference through the submission of your abstracts on Emerging developments in Water Research, divided into the following sub themes:

Groundwater and Water Resources Management
(Delivering) sanitation and hygiene (infrastructure and services)
Circular Economy
Inequalities in Public Health
Climate hazards, resilience, and adaptation
GIS and remote sensing
Economics and Finance
Governance, Politics and Policy

If you’re struggling to decide which topic your research falls into, please email.

If your research or work pertains to the any of the above themes from laboratory to demonstration scale and social studies, we welcome your submissions. Abstracts should be no longer than 2 pages, including figures, tables, and references.

Queries and completed abstracts should be sent to WISER.ECR.Conference@gmail.com
