USSD members are invited to submit abstracts of papers responsive to the Congress Questions. USSD is allowed to submit 26 papers to ICOLD, with a maximum of nine per Question. The USSD Committee on ICOLD Congress Papers will select the U.S. abstracts. Authors of selected abstracts will prepare a draft paper for review by the Committee, followed by preparation of a final paper that USSD will submit to ICOLD. ICOLD will not accept any submissions directly from authors.
Papers must be prepared in accordance with ICOLD guidelines. Please note that USSD will provide the required French translations of captions and the Summary, at no charge, if requested by the author.
Authors will be required to pay a page charge of 48 Euros per page, as assessed by ICOLD. USSD will send invoices to authors following the Congress ICOLD Annex for CL1960.
Authors are expected to attend the 27th Congress to discuss their paper, answer questions, and in some cases, make an oral summary of the paper (as determined by ICOLD). For more information about the Congress, visit the ICOLD 2021 Marseille website.
