Call for Workshops

The Organizing Committee of YWPEU 2026 invites proposals for interactive workshops to be held during the conference. Workshops provide a space for in-depth discussions, training, and collaboration around emerging challenges, innovative solutions, and skills development in the water sector.

We welcome proposals from researchers, practitioners, industry professionals, policymakers, and Young Water Professionals (YWPs). Workshops may take different formats — training sessions, hands-on demonstrations, panel discussions, roundtables, or participatory dialogues.

Workshop Themes

Proposed workshops should align with the main pillars of the conference:

1

Innovations in water and wastewater treatment

2

Digital tools, AI & Cybersecurity for smarter
water systems

3

Governance, policy, and risk assessment

4

management

5

Circular water economy –

We also encourage proposals that go beyond the technical dimension and explore skills development, career paths, science communication, leadership, or public engagement in the water sector.
