WASSER BERLIN INTERNATIONAL Congress 2015
Discusses "Water and Sustainable Development"
The new challenges facing the water industry demand innovative, scientific and technical solutions as well as a political and administrative response. Taking as its slogan 'Water and sustainable development' the WASSER BERLIN INTERNATIONAL Congress 2015 will be setting the tone and providing industry experts with a platform for dialogue and for exchanging experiences on projects and concrete technical solutions. The focus will be on sustainable and long-term viable concepts for the water industry, water exploration and for environmental policies.
In 2015, for the first time, the WASSER BERLIN INTERNATIONAL Congres s will take on the format of an enclosed Hall Forum and will thus be an integral part of trade fair events. No extra charges will be made for the congress.
The congress is clearly structured and focuses on specific topics. On 24 and 27 March 2015 at one session respectively, and on 25 and 26 March 2015 at two sessions respectively, it will be dwelling on current water industry and practical topics at national and international level.
