24th International Water Mist Conference – Call for Papers published

The 24th International Water Mist Conference (#IWMC2025) will take place in Manchester, UK, on 24th and 25th September 2025. The event is organized by IWMA (International Water Mist Association). The call for papers has been published. Abstract deadline is 15th April. For the first time, Max Lakkonen (IFAB), the newly elected IWMA president, will open the event.

IWMA’s CEO Bettina McDowell explains: “We have brought most of the key dates one month forward to be able to publish the programme earlier and thus apply for CPD accreditation.”

She adds: “Sponsors can start booking their tabletops for the exhibition which will run alongside the conference. All necessary forms can be found on the IWMA webpage. And ticket sales start on 15th April and delegates can profit from special prices until 1st August when the early bird period will end.”

On day one, speakers will mainly present case studies whereas day two will be dedicated to science and research. Tickets for day one only will be available.

Also important: the deadline for submissions to apply for the Ragnar Wighus Award is 31st March. In 2025, this award will go to the author of the best Ph.D. thesis dealing with water mist. The IWMA scientific council, chaired by Bogdan Raciega (Baltic Fire Laboratory), will evaluate the submissions. The winner will be invited to introduce the thesis at the event.

#IWMA (International Water Mist Association) are now requesting abstract for the 24th International Water Mist Conference. Abstract deadline: 15th April 2025. Welcome are case studies as well as scientific topics. To download the call for papers please go here: https://iwma.net/fileadmin/user_upload/IWMC_2025/IWMC_call_for_paper_2025.pdf
