Improved risk assessment for strategic water management to reduce micro-pollutant emissions in the Baltic Sea Region

APRIORA

APRIORA reaches New Zealand!

14 October 2025

From 29 September to 3 October 2025, the 10th IWA-ASPIRE Conference and Water New Zealand Conference and Expo took place in New Zealand — one of the most significant international events dedicated to water and wastewater management in the Asia-Pacific region.

During the conference, Professor Aneta Łuczkiewicz from Gdańsk University of Technology presented the objectives and preliminary results of the APRIORA project, delivering a talk titled ‘Improved Risk Assessment for Strategic Water Management to Reduce Micropollutant Emissions in the Baltic Region’.

The conference provided an excellent platform for exchanging knowledge and experiences among international water and sanitation professionals, as well as New Zealand scientists and experts working in the field of WASH (Water, Amenities, Sanitation and Hygiene).

Aneta Łuczkiewicz’s presentation attracted considerable interest, particularly in light of the new regulations being introduced in New Zealand and Australia regarding the reduction and monitoring of micropollutant emissions.
