Call for abstracts
We are excited to invite abstracts for the Flood Modeller 2025 conference, offering two types of presentation sessions: Full Presentations and Poster Presentations.
Full Presentations will be 20 minutes long, followed by a 10-minute Q&A session.
Poster Presentations will consist of a 5-minute presentation on a single slide, with an informal Q&A during session breaks. This format provides a fantastic opportunity for those who are less experienced or confident in public speaking to practice in a supportive and relaxed environment.
Abstracts that are not accepted for Full Presentation will automatically be considered for the Poster Presentations.
If your abstract is accepted for Full Presentation you will need to register for the conference as a delegate. You will get a 50% discount on the full delegate rate.
If your abstract is accepted for a Poster Presentation you will need to register for the conference as a delegate. You will get a 25% discount on the full delegate rate.
We welcome abstract submissions on any topic relevant to attendees of the Flood Modeller 2025 conference, particularly those working in hydrological and hydraulic modelling. Potential topic areas include, but are not limited to:
-
Can users migrate from standalone to cloud WINFAP and ReFH2 licences mid-contract?Yes, if you have 3+ months remaining on your existing licence, we can issue a credit against your new cloud WINFAP/ReFH2 licence. The credit will be applied on a one for one basis, excluding any “free” licences (e.g. where you buy four, receive one licence at no additional cost). i.e. for every cloud licence purchased, one standalone licence will be credited, prorated to the remaining term. Any standalone licences not redeemed, will remain available for the full 12 month term. Examples below cover WINFAP, but are applicable to both WINFAP and ReFH2 licences. Example 1: A company purchased 5 WINFAP licences at £395 per licence on 1st January 2023 from WHS. The total cost of this order was £1,580 as one licences was provided at no cost. 1. On 1st July 2023, the company wishes to purchase 5 cloud WINFAP licences (total cost: £3,950). We will apply a credit totalling £790 from the £3,950, resulting in a total cost of £3,160 in year 1. After the purchase, the company will have access to five concurrent WINFAP cloud licences and no standalone licences. 2. On 1st July 2023, the company wishes to purchase 3 cloud WINFAP licences (total cost: £2,370). We will apply a credit totalling £474 from the £2,370, resulting in a total cost of £1,896 in year 1. After the purchase, the company will have access to three concurrent WINFAP cloud licences and two standalone licences. Example 2: A company purchased 5 WINFAP standalone licences at £395 per licence on 1st January 2023 and 5 more WINFAP standalone licences at £395 per licence on 1st March 2023. The total cost of each order was £1,580 (total cost £3,160) as the 5th and 10th licences were provided at no cost. 3. On 1st July 2023, the company wishes to purchase 10 cloud WINFAP licences (total cost: £7,900). We will deduct a credit totalling £1,843 from the £7,900; £790 from the licences purchased on 1st January 2023 and £1,053 from the licences purchased on 1st March 2023. After the purchase, the company will have access to 10 concurrent WINFAP cloud licences and no standalone licences. As part of this process, each company will delete the WINFAP/ReFH2 standalone licences from their machine.
-
Can I align my WINFAP and ReFH2 subscription to my Flood Modeller renewal?Yes, this is recommended, providing the remaining term of your Flood Modeller contract is 6+ months. If the remaining term is less than 6 months, you would need to align it to the following year. Example: if you wished to purchase 3 WINFAP and 3 ReFH2 licences on 1st April 2024, and the Flood Modeller contract expires on 1st July 2024 (3 months), the company would need to purchase WINFAP and ReFH2 up until 1st July 2025 (15 months) at a total cost of £5,175.
-
I already have a cloud WINFAP and ReFH2 licence and wish to increase the number of licences available on the cloud? Can I align the new licences?Yes, if there is 6+ months remaining of your existing contract, you can align any new WINFAP and ReFH2 licences to the existing contract/expiry date. If the remaining term is less than 6 months, you would need to align it to the following year.
-
Can I mix licences between cloud and standalone?Yes, you can hold both standalone and cloud licences for both WINFAP and ReFH2. Any licences traded in should be deleted from your computer(s).
-
If a new version of WINFAP or ReFH2 is released, can I upgrade?If you are within your licence period (generally 12 months) you can upgrade to the most current version of ReFH2 and WINFAP at any time, whether you are on a cloud or standalone licence.
-
Will both standalone and cloud versions of ReFH2 and WINFAP work with the Hydrology+?Yes, either version of ReFH2 and WINFAP works with the Hydrology+ module within Flood Modeller (v7.1 onwards). Hydrology+ requires a Flood Modeller cloud licence to work.
-
Do I still need WINFAP and ReFH2 licences to access Hydrology+?Yes, you still need a WINFAP and ReFH2 licence to access Hydrology+. However, with Flood Modeller (v7.1 onwards), you no longer need to open the separate WINFAP and ReFH2 interfaces – this is all undertaken directly within Flood Modeller.
-
Do I need Flood Modeller installed to access WINFAP or ReFH2 via a cloud licence?No, you only require the WHS software and licence control software (Codemeter) to be installed and configured for access.
-
Can I purchase just ReFH2 and WINFAP cloud licences from Jacobs, or does it need to be part of a Flood Modeller purchase?Yes. Jacobs provide licencing for Flood Modeller, TUFLOW, WINFAP and ReFH2 software which can be purchased separately or in combination.
