Riversymposium now accepting abstracts!
Riversymposium is inviting oral or session submissions from authors around the world. Abstracts will be reviewed by the International Riversymposium Program Committee and accepted based on criteria including audience appeal and their alignment to the four Riversymposium sub-themes.
Poster presentations are also invited, which provide an excellent opportunity to showcase your innovations and ideas in a simple and concise way. Posters will be displayed in either hard copy format or electronically in the RiverExpo area, and a special session will be held during one of the lunch breaks where authors are invited to discuss their work and answer questions from conference delegates.
Abstract and poster submissions should be submitted online by 30 April 2014, and will be presented on 15, 16 or 17 September 2014 in Canberra, Australia.
