The WSCC 2017 conference planning committee welcomes your abstracts for oral presentations and scientific posters. The submission period is  March 31st to May 31st, 2017. Starting with a public opening event, the WSCC aspires to offer abundant opportunities for exchange. The main component of the conference are thematic sessions that can be linked with additional dialogue forums – tying the scientific community to policy, industry and society. All sessions will provide enough space for discussion. We highly welcome presentations which combine academic and practical approaches as well as the introduction of new dimensions and perspectives in the current discourse on water security. Accepted contributions to the conference will be published in the WSCC Book of Abstracts, a special book edition of the conference, and in selected academic journals. Each session is hosted by prominent organizations – experts in relevant fields. The conference is held in English
