Courses & Conferences

Courses are fundamental to disseminate and teach new concepts to students and professional, especially in the field of nature-based solutions (such as constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment) and sustainable water management, which are often not yet included in university programmes.

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 given an important contribution to dissemination activities in the years: organizing, 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; organizing international courses for student and professionals within the NaWaTech project; with its experts of international fame in the fields of constructed wetlands and sustainable water management, who were invited to 10 keynote speeches and as member of the scientific commission to 12 international conferences; with more than 100 teching events as lecturer in both national and international coureses.

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
