Nontarget Analysis for Environmental Assessment
The goal of this meeting is to move nontarget screening and its application forward in the context of environmental assessment by involving stakeholders from all sectors.
The meeting will have a mixed format with keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations, and breakout discussion and demonstration groups. The meeting will intensely cover nontarget screening approaches, from the analytical technology, to application in real-field studies and implementation in risk assessment.
The meeting will include three main topics:
- Frontiers in nontarget screening: Instrumentation, data evaluation and application to monitoring the water environment
- Identifying transformation products and metabolites formed in biological and technical systems
- Tools to prioritize identification: Statistics, exposure indices, toxicity, fate modeling
Abstract submission: by 22 January 2020

ContaSed2020 2nd International Conference on Contaminated Sediments
Sediments are sources and sinks of contaminants, and play an important role in mediating pollutants across compartments of ecosystems. Following ContaSed2015, ContaSed2020 will focus on organic and inorganic sediment contaminant classes including microplastics, emerging contaminants, heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants.
Contributions dealing with empirical or modelling studies are invited to the following sessions:
- Session 1: From source to sink: transport and deposition of contaminants in sediments
- Session 2: Assessing risks of contaminants in sediments: methodologies and ecotoxicological case studies
- Session 3: Analytical tools and methods for assessing sediment contamination
- Session 4: Fate of contaminants in depositional settings
- Session 5: Sediments as archives of historical pollution
Deadline for abstract submission: 26 January 2020

IWA EcoSTP 2020 “Impacting the environment with innovation in wastewater treatment”
The conference will bring together stakeholders involved in the water sector to promote a paradigm shift in wastewater treatment and management with a special focus on sustainability and circular economy. IWA EcoSTP 2020 will deal with innovative technologies, approaches and practices aimed at transforming wastewater treatment plants in the heart and driver of future major changes for environment, society and economy.
Conference topics:
- Innovative technologies, approaches and STP layouts for sustainable wastewater treatment, resource recovery and wastewater reuse
- Strategies for energy consumption and carbon footprint minimization in wastewater treatment
- Occurrence, fate and removal of contaminants of emerging concern, including micro- and nano-plastics and antibiotic resistance, in wastewater and sludge
- Natural-based solutions for resilient and smart wastewater treatment and management
- Monitoring, modelling and control for effective process management, optimization and scale-up, also based on advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence
- Digitalization and emerging ICT technologies for a new deal in water cycle
- The wastewater biorefinery from lab to full scale: technical, economic and regulatory issues
- Preservation of ecosystem quality and human health through risk based approaches
- Economics of wastewater treatment and management
- Integrated assessment for wastewater treatment and management under Life Cycle Thinking
