Water & Environment 2010 - CIWEM's Annual Conference
The way we manage water and the environment are fundamental to our long term
future, both in the UK and internationally. The urgency of climate change and
the challenges of water, food and energy security, set against a climate of
financial limitation, call for more integrated and ‘green’ solutions.
The aim of the conference is to challenge and inspire the water and
environmental community by sharing knowledge and best practice, which is at the
heart of meeting key global challenges.
In April 2010 CIWEM will hold a two-day Annual Conference that will address
multidisciplinary issues across all areas of the global water and environment
sector. There will be a mix of keynote speakers, offered papers, exhibitions and
networking opportunities that will make this the key event for
water and environment professionals.
This conference is organised on an academic model, where there is a call
for presentations and speakers will be selected on that basis by the conference
programme committee. All the speakers will pay the conference fee and this will
be broadly in line with current CIWEM one day events.
