STUDENT & TRAINEE POSTER SESSION

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: AUGUST 15, 2026

We are excited to announce the IUVA 2026 Americas Conference will have a Student & Trainee Poster Session. Students, postdocs, research assistants, and interns are especially encouraged to applyAbstracts must be scientific and technical in nature (with the exception of the Commercial Showcase noted below) and should be submitted online by August 15, 2026. The abstract length is 200-300 words (no figures) and must include full contact information for the corresponding author. The conference will highlight advances in UV technology in all aspects of health and safety, including drinking water treatment, reuse water and wastewater treatment, air pollution, hospital infections, air and surface disinfection, wetted surface fouling control, control of invasive species, PFAS, treatment of industrial effluents, and regulatory issues.

The Student & Trainee Poster Session is designed to highlight and welcome newer voices in the field to the IUVA community. In addition to showcasing research, poster presentations are an excellent way to network and build up professional connections.



Suggested Topics Include:

Disinfection
  • Regulatory trends and establishing guidelines
  • Technology trends: Far UVC, UV-C LEDs, light-sources, electronic drivers and reactors
  • Low wavelengths: modeling and measurement
  • Validation: CFD, velocity profiles, light measurement methods, low wavelength, and correction factors
  • Startup, commissioning and O&M issues of UV systems
  • Water supply in developing countries
  • UV-C LED device and system design
Applications
  • Municipal drinking water, reuse water and wastewater
  • Food and beverage processing and safety
  • Reduction in TOC, chlorine, chloramine, ozone
  • Industrial water supply and discharge

Special Commercial Showcase Session:

We are also requesting abstracts for a special “Commercial Showcase” session. These presentations do not need to be scientific and can be of commercial interest to the greater UV community, showcasing the latest technology available to the industry from the supply chain.
