Conferences and congress organization

Conferences, workshops, and seminars are events in which experts present and discuss among the most advanced research activities, applications, and experiences. Therefore, these are fundamental dissemination events, allowing to exchange knowledge and discuss new ideas.

IRIDRA has organized, in Venice in 2010, the 12th International Conference on Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control, one of the two most important international conferences in the field of constructed wetlands; moreover, the IRIDRA's staff was involved in different dissemination events during the years. Consequently, IRIDRA is able to give support in the organization of conference and seminars at a different level of complexity, from disseminative events for the not expert audience to conferences of the highest scientific value.

Confereces organized by IRIDRA

12th International Conference on Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control, organized by the International Water Association, Venice, October 2010 (IRIDRA was chairman of the conference).

Note: the International Conference on Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control together with the International Symposium on Wetland Pollutant Dynamics and Control (WETPOL) are the two worldwide most important conferences in the field of the constructed wetland, and they are alternatively placed every two years
