The 9th International Conference on
URBAN DRAINAGE MODELLING
Faculty of Civil Engineering, Begrade, IRTCUD and Centre for Water Sensitive Cities organize: The 9th International Conference on “Urban Drainage Modelling” (UDM).
Conference will be held in Belgrade, Serbia, in 2012 from 4 to 7 September. The Conference is designed to bring together specialists, researchers and practitioners, to exchange experiences, demonstrate present potential, improve the reliability of urban drainage modelling and to set-up the stage for its future developments. Topics are from both theoretical and practical developments and applications and you are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts of papers for the Conference.
This is the 9th in a series of international conferences, begun in 1986 in Dubrovnik in former Yugoslavia. Subsequent conferences have been convened in Dubrovnik, Russia, UK, USA, Germany, Australia and Japan. This 9th International Conference marks a return to the original organizers after more than 25 years of successful conferences across the world.
Papers will be peer-reviewed and possibly published in international scientific journals, Water Science and Technology (specifications for the formatting of papers are available on the IWA Publishing website) and Journal of Hydraulic Research . All papers presented at the Conference will be available in an electronic version, while the extended abstracts (2 pages) will be printed in a separate book.
