12th Eastern European IWA YWP Conference

Dear colleagues – young professionals of the water sector,

In 2020 we organise our 12th Eastern European IWA YWP Conference for Young Water Profession- als, this conference will take place in the pearl of the Baltic sea – Riga!

For this conference, with a title Innovations in Water Sector we have prepared following program:

• Two days will be dedicated to scientific presentations. This part of the conference will take place in Ri- ga Technical University. Also this year we would like to give more opportunities for YWPs who would like to prepare an oral presentations. So we proceed with a concept: two parallel sessions will run at the same time, one focusing on water management, another on water treatment technologies; howev- er 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 plus poster. We believe that in this way we help YWPs suc- cessfully 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, tech- nical and cultural tours and more!Moreover in 2020:
• 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 will be published in the Journals of IWA with high ISI index after an additional review (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).
