Tips and Tricks for a Successful Abstract
When you submit an abstract to #FIHM22, your hard work and dedication to advancing discovery and solutions science will be viewed in-person and online by over 1,000 attendees in the water community.
Abstracts should focus on scientific results and/or their applications.
Steps for submitting an abstract
Please provide the following information when submitting your abstract by 26 January 2022:
1. Title: The abstract title is limited to 300 characters (including punctuation, but not spaces). The abstract title MUST be entered in initial upper case, for example: Mark the Dates of FIHM on Your Calendar.

Authors can request that their presentation format be assigned by committee (oral, eLightning or poster session) on their abstract submission form or that their abstract should be considered for poster only.
Note: It is not possible to request only an oral presentation.
7. Choose online or in-person presentation: At this time, we are planning for FIHM 2022 to be both in-person and online so attendees can customize their participation. Some may choose to be 100% in-person or online while others may choose to do a mix of both.
ALL abstracts submitted are subject to acceptance and scheduling in a virtual session.
When you submit your abstract, you can indicate if you are prepared to only present virtually or if you are comfortable and have no preference presenting either virtually or in-person.
8. Indicate previously submitted material: Share if any of the presentation has been previously reported in scientific meetings, journals or in the news media.
9. Acknowledge the following items:
a. Abstract fees are processing fees and are non-refundable.

c. The presenting author must register for and attend #FIHM22 online or in-person.
