OTHER EVENTS:

From 7-9 November 2016 the CCWI conference takes place in Amsterdam. Its focus is computing and control of processes in the water sector. Subject within this focus are: drinking and waste water treatment, asset management, hydraulics and water quality in drinking water distribution systems. The floor is also open to subjects as climate change and governance models and their impact on technical solutions in the water sector.
 
Special to the 2016 CCWI edition is the attention to the practical value of models that have been developed over the past decade. This meeting of science and practice is meant to enhance cooperation and coproduction of new knowledge that can find its way to practice. KWR, as main organiser of this event, wants to ask you to share some of your best examples of science brought to practice. Many Dutch drinking water companies will present their show cases. We invite you to make use of this unique opportunity to present your results for an international public of researchers and practitioners from drinking water companies and industry.
