Water Colloquium Invitation to Present

Purpose:  To showcase water-related research and innovative programming by faculty, students, and external researchers.

Oral Presentations:  These will be 10-15 minutes long including 2-5 minutes for audience questions.  Abstracts should include:

  • Name of the presenting author
  • Presenting author’s complete contact information (phone, email, mailing address)
  • Name(s) of PI or co-PIs

  • Presentation title
  • Abstract of the presentation not to exceed 300 words

Individuals may submit more than one abstract, either on their own or in conjunction with others.  Deadline to submit an abstract for oral presentation is 4 p.m. Monday, August 11.  Accepted authors will be notified by mid-August.  Competition for oral presentations is expected to be strong; if you'd also like to have your abstract considered for the poster session please indicate this on your submission.

We will have the capacity to bring in speakers via satellite, so researchers outside of Lincoln can present without being on East Campus if they can make arrangements with a UNL facility with broadcast capabilities, such as a Research and Extension Center.  If you’d like to do a distance presentation, please mention this in your submission.

Poster Presentations:  Authors will need to put their posters on display by 8:15 a.m. on the day of the Water Colloquium.  At least one author is required to be present during the poster session, which is scheduled for an extended lunch hour.  Abstracts should include:

  • Name of the presenting author
  • Presenting author’s complete contact information (phone, email, mailing address)
  • Name(s) of PI or co-PIs
  • Names of other collaborators
  • Poster title
  • Abstract of the research not to exceed 300 words

Deadline to submit a poster abstract is 8 a.m., Monday, September 8.  Accepted presenters will be notified by mid-September.  Note that the poster display boards available to us are 48” wide.
