Remote Hydrography Conference & Exhibition – THS UK Announce a Second Call for Papers

Following the rescheduling of this conference and it being extended from two to three days (22-24 February 2022, Dubiln), the organising committee are pleased to invite potential speakers to submit their abstracts for proposed papers to be presented at this conference. Submissions may address any subject relating to the conference theme.

All abstracts will be peer-reviewed, and authors notified before the final programme is announced in October. Presentations will be selected based on relevance to the conference theme, originality and quality. Presentations focussing on innovation or application and those featuring case studies would be of particular interest to the target audience.

Abstracts are particularly welcome from students and recent graduates; it is the intention of the organising committee to have a dedicated student presentation session.

Successful authors will be offered discounted registration at the conference, although THS UK will not be able to cover the cost of travel, accommodation, or subsistence.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 30th September 2021, full details of how to submit your abstract can be found here Second Call For Papers – The Hydrographic Society UK (ths.org.uk).
