IWA Specialist conference: Particle Separation – 2016

Invitation to the PS-2016We are very pleased to invite all water professionals to the 14th IWA biennial conference on Particle separation. With the ad-vancement in analytical techniques, importance of particles in both natural and engineered aquatic systems has continuously been revealed. Borders between particles and solutes in water are now actually fuzzy: every component in water might be viewed as “particles”. In this context, this conference can be very beneficial to a wide range of scientists and engineers as it will provide opportunities of mutual communications based on the most recent information on particle science and technology.

The EWA specialized conference on Water management challenges in cold climates, will be held immediately after the IWA conference. We are pleased to see the two major organisations in our field- the IWA and EWA - collaborating at these two conferences.

Powered by nature, Norway in summer is an exciting venue. The IWA conference coincides with the “midsummer night” and summer solstice, a festival celebrated throughout Northern Europe. We look forward to meet you in Norway, where scientific knowledge will be shared and transformed into solutions that meet tomorrow’s challenges in our field. With a unique nature surrounding conferences, we are confident that you will associate the fruitful discussions and learnings of the conferences with unforgettable memories of Norway.
