CALL FOR PAPERS

The water and health nexus has been upgraded from the issues related mainly to pro contaminated water and poor sanitation to several opportunities that span from innovative technologies, investments and business, support for advanced monitoring to prevent possible pandemics. This workshop will highlight how risk-based approach is now mainstreaming the new EU directives and regulations, so as to pave the way for a paradigm shift. In addition, results from interfaces between water and health experts will allow the definition of the current state of the art and perspective for joint industrial development of the sectors.
