Call for abstracts for the Second SOWAEUMED Workshop: Innovative Technologies for Solid Waste and Water Treatment “Exchange of best practices and knowledge transfer between Europe and Mediterranean countries” - ITS2WAT-2012
SOWAEUMED (Network in Solid Waste and Water Treatment between
The SOWAEUMED project is a 3 years Coordination Action whose main goal is to establish a sustainable cooperation platform for forming strategic partnerships between scientists, scientific managers, policy makers, technology transfer and industrial experts between EU Member States (MS), Associated States (AS) and the Mediterranean Region States (MED), concerning the development and implementation of solid waste and water treatment technologies.
The main objectives of SOWAEUMED are:
- Create the optimal conditions in order to favour the establishment of a sustainable networking, permanent dialogue, specific cooperation activities and a communication flow, including dissemination activities of the priorities towards Mediterranean Partners R&D research entities and policy makers such as funding agencies, learned bodies and national science policy bodies to boost their scientific and technological research potential to allow a similar foot basis cooperation.
- Promote interregional and intraregional cooperation key actions concerning with the identification of eventual difficulties, needs and long term priorities to further strengthening the established relationships and looking for legal, administrative and financial solutions to these problems, based on a better knowledge of the scientific and technological systems on both sides, as well as a closer dialogue between EU and MED policy makers.
- Stimulate and support the participation of MED region research stakeholder’s in future joint proposals at national and international level such as FP7, with a first emphasis on the People Programme in order to enhance their human resources through training and teaching activities.
2nd SOWAEUMED international Workshop on Innovative Technologies for Solid Waste and Water Treatment - ITS2WAT-2012
A deficient management of scarce water resources as well as waste management contributes to generate instable situations through the south Mediterranean region and increase social and economical problematic. In addition, production in the industrial and agricultural sectors contributes to pollution of the air and water and the generation of solid and hazardous wastes.
Science and technology as well as human resources training can contribute to solve the severe water troublesome concerning the region as well as the urban and rural waste treatment. However, RTD has to be completed by upgrading the existing environmental legislation in order to solve the problem.
The second SOWAEUMED workshop aims to reinforce research links with leading universities, institutes and industrial companies in the Mediterranean countries in waste and water treatment technologies and promoting an efficient transfer of the generated knowledge to the industry. Sharing and discussing views and experiences on innovative technologies for solid waste and water treatment will provide the opportunity to directly address the challenges of sustainable development.
That is intended to be organized in Marrakech, Morocco between 23-26 May, 2012. The circular and the registration form of this workshop are available. We shall be extremely pleased if you would be so kind to express your interest to participate and eventually to address a keynote speech, a report or a contribution paper on the topics of the workshop.
The deadline for contributions , is April 25th.
