8th International Congress on Water, Waste and Energy Management (WWEM-26)

Dear Colleagues,

The 8th International Congress on Water, Waste and Energy Management (WWEM-26) is organized by academics and researchers belonging to different scientific areas of Universidad de Granada, Universidad de Jaén, Universidade of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Universidad de Extremadura, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Università di Cassino e del Lazio and Southern Lazio, Hunan Agricultural University of China, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. Gogte Institute of Technology, Universidad Politécnica of Barcelona, and Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain), with the technical support of Sciknowledge European Conferences, Spanish Adsorption Society (SEAd) and Open Chemistry (OpenCHEM) are preferred partners of this conference.

The 8th International Waste Water Conference Call will include the participation of renowned keynote speakers, oral presentations, poster sessions, technical conferences related to the topics dealt with in the Scientific Program, and an attractive social and cultural program.

All accepted papers will be published in the Abstract E-book of the Conference. Those communications considered to have enough quality can be further considered for publication in the International Conference Journals. At the authors’ choice, those works not suitable for publication in any of the congress journals will be published in the Extended Proceedings E-book of the International Congress.

This International Waste Water Conference Call will also be aimed at companies and/or institutions to present their products, services, innovations, and research results. If you or your company is interested in participating in this exhibition, please contact the Technical Secretariat here.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to invite the Scientific Community to participate in this project, presenting papers or communications related to any of the proposed topics.

Looking forward to welcoming you to the Canary Islands!

Yours sincerely,

Joaquín R. Domínguez
