As an internationally recognized technical and policy forum, the International Oil Spill Conference (IOSC) invites submissions of abstracts for thematically related paper, poster and special session presentations for the upcoming conference in Savannah, Georgia, from May 17-20, 2027.
All abstracts for papers, posters, and special sessions submitted for consideration should aim to have a connection to the IOSC 2027 theme: “Managing Complexity, Advancing Capability – Artificial Intelligence, Environmental Pollutants, Cybersecurity Threats, Severe Weather Events, and Aging Infrastructure”. Abstracts for papers, posters, and special sessions should align with the theme and focus topics.
The IOSC legacy is a comprehensive set of proceedings of peer reviewed papers and posters. New for 2027, the opportunity will be available for a limited number of presentations on selected topics that will not require a paper. Selected authors will present their work during scheduled speaker platform or interactive sessions at IOSC.
