Knowledge Exchange Day | Brussels 2023

Water Reuse Europe (WRE) hosted its second Knowledge Exchange Day in Brussels, Belgium on 20th October 2023. The event welcomed leaders of research projects on water reuse from across the continent, hence providing a great opportunity for participants to catch-up on the leading-edge research that is taking place across the continent. Research topics covered all aspects of water reuse, from agricultural and industrial application to indirect potable reuse. The Knowledge Exchange Day proved once again to be a great opportunity for showcasing for research leaders to present their findings and discuss their adoption and application to professionals involved in water reuse, but it also provided an exciting opportunity for our participants to advance their awareness of leading edge research in the area as well as sharing knowledge and perspectives on the future of the European water reuse sector!

Second Conference on Innovations in Water Reuse | Girona | 2022

Water Reuse Europe (WRE) hosted its second Conference and Exhibition in the historic and lively City of Girona, Spain, on 20 and 21 September 2022. Ninety-five participants and exhibitors from over ten countries attended WRE’s first in-person event since COVID-19 took over the world in March 2020. Three years in the making, WRE was finally able to bring together water reuse professionals in the exceptional city of three rivers, Girona. The two-day conference was a remarkable event which allowed participants to refresh their existing knowledge and also learn about leading edge applications from across the continent and further afield; catch-up on the latest innovations across science, technology and governance across Europe and beyond; and more importantly, offered plenty of networking opportunities to interact with leaders in the reuse community, friends and colleagues as well as sponsors and exhibitors, hence creating wider opportunities for water reuse across Europe.
