Extended Abstract Deadline for 2013 Water and Health Conference: Where Science Meets Policy

We’ve received many requests for late abstract submissions for this year’s Water and Health Conference from people who could not meet the original deadline of April 30. So we’ve decided to extend the abstract submission deadline to Tuesday, May 7 at 11:59 p.m. United States Eastern Standard Time, to allow more time for participants to submit their work.

Abstract submissions can be made online at http://whconference.unc.edu/sign-up-to-submit-an-abstract/.
