Call for Papers: Water and Development Congress & Exhibition 2017
Deadline: 12th of June 2017
IWA’s Water and Development Congress series aims to catalyse transformational change and support transition to new ways of managing water resources and delivering water services. The Congress is explicitly solutions-focused, its performance indicators include the level of effective networking, knowledge exchange and the generation of new ideas shared by the participants.
Participants to the IWA’s Water and Development Congress can expect to leave the conference with new ideas and be inspired to take these back and share them with their colleagues or apply them in their own areas of work.
IWA is inviting proposals for events and sessions (scientific sessions, interactive workshops, training events, regional fora), and abstracts of scientific/technical/policy papers related to the themes and topics listed below. Please submit your proposals/abstracts using the buttons below. Lear more: http://www.waterdevelopmentcongress.org/call-for-submissions/
