IWA World Water Congress

The IWA World Water Congress and Exhibition, held every two years, provides an extremely valuable and truly unique opportunity for the community of world-leading water professionals to meet, exchange ideas, explore the state of the art and debate the key issues underlying the science and practice of water.
Building on the growing success of recent congresses in Beijing-2006, Marrakech-2004, Melbourne-2002, Berlin-2001, IWA has every expectation that the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition, to be held from 7–12 September 2008 at the Austria Center in Vienna, will set new standards.
The 2008 IWA World Water Congress and Exhibition in Vienna will bring together 3,000 international water industry professionals to discuss the latest developments in sustainable water management and exchange knowledge on all aspects of the water cycle.
In addition to the many international themes related to water supply and wastewater disposal, the Vienna congress will welcome papers related to the Danube region. Located in the heart of Europe and with a common European cultural and economic area triggered by EU enlargement, the Danube’s characteristic features have left their imprint on the region’s landscape, people and history. These factors combine to demand a considerable degree of trans-national cooperation in the interests of sustainable water management.
