PRESENTATION
For the fourth consecutive year, the Institute for Water Research (IdRA) has invited young water experts from the University of Barcelona to present, share, debate and discover new scientific challenges in an open, plural and transdisciplinary environment. The 4th IdRA Young Researchers' Conference will take place over the course of one day. After a presentation of the participants' scientific advances, an environmental dissemination activity will be held during the afternoon session.
With the aim of consolidating the scientific relationship between the participants, this year's IdRA Young Researchers' Conference will seek to strike a balance between the oral presentations, which should be examples of synthesis, and the subsequent discussion with the rest of the speakers and conference participants. Building bridges between academia and society requires the transfer and dissemination of knowledge suitable for all levels and the ability to find common ground between different but complementary visions.
The 4th IdRA Young Researchers’ Conference will take place on 3 June 2019. Details of the afternoon session's environmental dissemination activity will be announced soon.
REQUIREMENTS
The event is aimed at scientists under 35 years of age in the following professional situations:
• UB master's degree students writing their final project (TFM)
• UB PhD students
• Other researchers attached and/or linked to the UB through contracts, research projects and/or membership of a research group
As in previous editions, one of the requirements for participants is to be linked to an IdRA member, who will have to endorse their participation. Each IdRA member can endorse a maximum of two participants.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARTICIPATION, REGISTRATION AND DEADLINES
The young researchers will have to publicly present their scientific work in a 5-minute flash talk that demonstrates their capacity for synthesis and outlines their research objectives, methodology and general conclusion. The flash talk can be given in Catalan, Spanish or English, individually or in pairs. At the end of each thematic block, once all the papers have been presented, there will be time to answer any questions and generate a shared, participative scientific debate. Once again, speakers are asked to prioritise the informative nature of their flash talks to provide a common basis for all participants and attendees.
Those wishing to participate in the 4th IdRA Young Researchers' Conference must fill in and print the registration form, then, once signed by the IdRA reference researcher, send it renamed as indicated, together with a summary of their presentation in accordance with the style guide, extension and format outlined in the summary template. Please send the files with the following nomenclature:
• Registration: "190603_IVJJI_inscripcio_cognom1cognom2.pdf"
• Summary: “190603_IVJJI_resum_ponencia_cognom1cognom2.docx”

Download the summary template
The deadline for the submission of these two documents is 1 April 2019. They must be sent by email to info.idra@ub.edu. This deadline is strictly non-extendable.
Proposals will be evaluated and, where appropriate, accepted by the scientific and organising committee. All authors of accepted papers will receive a certificate of participation.
Attendees will receive a dossier with a summary of the presentations. The event is free to attend.
Please make every effort to publicise the event within your departments and research groups.
