Water Recycling – Time for a Paradigm Shift

Project: ReNutriWater
Physical Meeting
Discover water recycling innovations at the ReNutriWater international conference.

Description

Join us for a free international conference showcasing the results of the ReNutriWater project, an initiative exploring water recovery from wastewater. This is a unique opportunity to discover how modern technologies can transform wastewater into a sustainable resource and help address the growing global water crisis.

Water scarcity is no longer a distant concern – it is an urgent global challenge. Recovering and reusing water is becoming essential, not optional. In the Baltic Sea Region, modern and accessible technologies provide enormous potential for sustainable solutions.

Why Attend?

This conference is designed for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and anyone interested in sustainable water management. You will have the chance to:

  • Explore innovative solutions for water recovery and reuse
  • Learn from the ReNutriWater project results, including practical insights from local wastewater treatment plants
  • Engage in discussions on policy, technology, and public awareness
  • Shape the future of sustainable water management

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from leading experts, share ideas, and be part of a paradigm shift in water sustainability.
