24th International Water Mist Conference: Call for Papers published
17 December 2024
THE 24th International Water Mist Conference (#IWMC2025) will take place in Manchester on 24 and 25 September 2025. The event is organised by the International Water Mist Association (IWMA) and the Call for Papers has now been published. The abstract deadline is 15 April. For the first time, Max Lakkonen (IFAB), the newly elected IWMA president, will open the event.

IWMA’s CEO Bettina McDowell explained: “We’ve brought most of the key dates one month forward to be able to publish the programme earlier and therefore apply for CPD accreditation.”
McDowell added: “Sponsors can start booking their tabletops for the exhibition, which will run alongside the conference. All necessary forms can be found on the IWMA website. Ticket sales start on 15 April and delegates can profit from special prices until 1 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.
The deadline for submissions to apply for the Ragnar Wighus Award is 31 March. In 2025, this award will go to the author of the best PhD thesis dealing with water mist.
The IWMA Scientific Council, chaired by Bogdan Raciega (of the Baltic Fire Laboratory), will evaluate the submissions. The winner will be invited to introduce the thesis at the event.
