The International Network of Environmental Forensics will be hosting their 2020 conference in Copenhagen, Denmark from June 30 – July 2, 2020. We will be welcoming abstracts on all areas of environmental forensics, including chemistry, biology, statistics, and legal. Abstracts are welcome from forensic practitioners working in academia, industry and the public sector. 

The following guidelines will assist you in the preparation of a successful abstract. Submissions should be written from a strong technical background and should clearly demonstrate a familiarity with the related work and field. A template to assist you in preparing your abstract is available here. Abstracts should be no longer than one A4 page in portrait layout. The title of the abstract should be as concise as possible and co-authors and affiliations listed. The use of figures, graphs and schemes is recommended where this aids the understanding of the text.  

Abstracts should be prepared using the template provided and submitted as an MS Word email attachment to Katie McClure at (kmclure@ramboll.com) before Monday 2nd March 2020.  Include in your correspondence the full address and contact details of the main author and the presenting author and indicate whether you are submitting an oral or a poster presentation. Authors will be notified about acceptance by Friday 20th March 2020.

Authors of accepted abstracts (oral and poster) will be invited to submit their research for publication in a special issue of the RSC Journal Environmental Science Processes and Impacts (ESPI) (Impact factor 2.6). Travel grants are available for Early Career Researchers - contact David Megson (d.megson@mmu.ac.uk) for more information.
