11th Eastern European IWA YWP Conference
In 2019 we organise our 11th Eastern European IWA YWP Conference for Young Water Professionals, this conference will take place in a Europe’s most romantic city – Prague!
The motto of our conference reflects the importance of water in our country and in the whole region of central and eastern Europe.
For this conference, with a title Water for All- Water for Nature, Reliable Water Supply, Wastewater Treatment and Reuse we have prepared following program:
– We will start with several practical workshops, preliminary topics: modelling course, new measurements technics and instruments for monitoring of WWTP, new process solutions and calculations, but also workshops to improve your soft skills: how to publish, how to apply, how to present. This practical part will take 2 days (1-2 October 2019), you will have an opportunity to select and apply for one or several workshops. You will receive an IWA advanced training certificate. We hope that more YWPs from utilities will be attracted by this special practical training session of the event.
– Two following days (3 -4 October 2019) will be dedicated to scientific presentations. This part of the conference will take place in Masarykova Kolej Conference Center. Also this year we would like to give more opportunities for YWPs who would like to prepare an oral presentations. So we follow the concept: two parallel sessions will run at the same time, one focusing on water management, another on water treatment technologies; however coffee breaks and lunch will take place in one common area to support networking between YWPs. Moreover, there will be long and short type of presentation: 10 minutes for a standard presentation and 3 minutes for a short presentation, this presentation can be completed by a poster (not must). We believe that in this way we help YWPs successfully apply for financial support, as for most of the countries a poster presentation is not sufficient reason to travel abroad.
– An extended social program which will take part during the conference days: dinners, meetings, technical and cultural tours and more!
Moreover in 2019:
– The extended abstracts will be included into the Book of Extended Abstracts with an ISBN
– The full publications will be included into the IWA Conference Proceedings
– The selected papers might be published in the Journals of IWA with high ISI index (Water Research ISI 5.323, Water Science and Technology ISI 1.106, Journal of Water Supply: Research &Technology – Aqua ISI 0.843,Water Science & Technology: Water Supply ISI 0.394, more info on the IWA website)
