Join us in Girona
Water Reuse Europe Second Conference and Exhibition on Innovation in Water Reuse will take place in the historic and lively City of Girona on the 20th and 21st September 2022. Only a 40-minute-long train journey away from Barcelona, Girona is an excellent base for discovering Catalonia and its culture, its cuisine and the variety of its landscapes from the Costa Brava to the Pyrenees.
The conference will bring together professionals and organisations active in the water reuse sector for a two day event packed with presentations from prestigious speakers, discussions, and technical visits. The conference will cover a wide range of topics including water reuse for potable applications, public health protection in water reuse, industrial and decentralised water reuse, water reuse in urban environments, natured-based solutions for water reuse, industrial reuse.
We therefore invite developers, industry leaders, solution providers, technology suppliers, policy makers, researchers, end-users, and consultants to share with us their experiences and perspectives on water reuse in Europe.
The conference venue is the Palau de Congressos de Girona.The congress centre is located in Devesa Park, just a 10 min walk from the historic centre and the Girona train station.
Our Conference dinner will be held on the evening of Tuesday 20th of September in the Palau de Bellavista. The Palau de Bellavista offers panoramic views of the City of Girona. It’s a short walk downhill to Girona’s medieval Old Town and less than 15 minutes into the main town centre.
The conference is organised with the kind support of the Catalan Water Partnership (CWP) the Catalan Cluster for the sustainable use of water. The CWP’s mission is to improve the competitiveness of its members in the water sector.
