10TH YWPDK CONFERENCE
We are looking forward to see you at the…
10th annual Young Water Professionals Denmark conference
This year’s conference will take place on the 24th and 25th of April 2025 in the Greater Copenhagen area. We have a maximum capacity of 65 members at the conference, so make sure to register as quickly as possible to secure your spot.
The two-days program is filled with activities that include knowledge sharing (e.g. technical presentations), development of soft skills (with ad-hoc workshops) and technical tours. Of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet and network with your fellow young water professionals, especially during the social dinner on Thursday evening. The conference is a great chance to get inspired by other YWPs and by our engaging speakers and guests.
The final program, book of abstracts and info-package will be sent out before the conference.
Call for abstracts is open
The conference is dependent on input from our members, and we would therefore like to invite you to participate by joining with an abstract for an oral presentation. We do not have strict requirements regarding the content of the abstract, so you can submit anything from an introduction to who you are, what your professional interests are, your expertise area, hands-on engineering projects, pilot projects, student projects, academic research, conceptual frameworks, etc.
If you wish to submit an abstract, please use our template. The deadline for submitting the abstract is Sunday the 16th of February (midnight). The abstract should be submitted as word file (not pdf) and should be sent by email to events@ywp.dk. The authors of the accepted abstracts will be notified by 23rd of February and we will provide you with guidelines for the oral presentation (duration, format, etc.).
Please be aware that submitting the abstract does not imply an automatic registration to the conference. If your abstract is accepted and if you intent to participate to the conference, you’ll need to make sure to register to the conference (more info coming soon).
