IPC15 will feature a set of Late-Break Sessions designed to accommodate recent scientific advances, emerging results, and timely topics that could not be included during the main abstract submission period.
Late-break sessions provide a flexible space within the IPC15 program to address fast-moving developments and cross-cutting themes at the interface of science, policy, and applications. Contributions are expected to be concise, forward-looking, and clearly connected to ongoing scientific, operational, or societal challenges related to precipitation and water resources. More information will be shared soon.
