The Tenth Global Waste Management Symposium (GWMS) will serve as a forum for the presentation of applied and fundamental research, case studies, and policy analysis on solid waste and materials management.
We invite the community of researchers, engineers, designers, academicians, students, facility owners and operators, regulators, and policymakers to participate. GWMS will be held in a setting where all participants can share ideas and will include oral and poster presentations as well as social events to provide opportunities for technical interaction and discussion.
We invite abstracts in all areas related to solid waste engineering and management, including, but not limited to the following:
The abstract template must be used to submit your proposal. The abstract should be data-driven and provide sufficient detail to show that it contains significant results of a case study, applied or fundamental research, or policy/regulatory/economic analysis. The inclusion of tables or figures that summarize selected results is encouraged. Abstract length is limited to two pages of single-spaced text, excluding tables and figures. Abstracts describing plans for future work or that sell a product, or service will not be accepted.
The symposium technical committee will make final decisions regarding presentations. Abstracts must be submitted electronically. Please name the file by the primary author’s last name, affiliation and a few descriptive words on the topic, such as “Potts-STARK-recyclingcontamination.pdf”. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is March 28, 2025. Notification to authors regarding whether or not the abstract is accepted will be provided in June 2025.
Note: All presenters (poster and oral) are required to register for the symposium.
