CALL FOR PAPERS
This conference will be held over two days, with the specialist groups listed below having a session plus the Rayleigh Medal 2021 keynote lecture. An awards dinner will be held on the first evening. You are encouraged to submit an abstract up to 250 words on any of the following or related topics, please indicate which group session it is submitted for.
Although it is planned that this conference will be held in-person, there is always the possibility that we will have to revert back to a virtual conference depending on the Covid situation in October. We are also discussing the possibility of recording presentations for the IOA Video Library.
