On 15 and 16 May, the directors will meet for the first time in Girona, under the chairmanship of the Advisory Board of the Parliament of Catalonia for Science and Technology (Consell Assessor del Parlament sobre Ciència I Tecnologia – CAPCIT).
This year's director’s meeting will focus on the relationship between technology and water and, more specifically, on the scientific and technological challenges necessary to respond to the current widespread context of water scarcity. The Water Research Institute of Catalonia (ICRA) will be visited, where scientific and technological projects focused on the recovery of wastewater and the reuse of water, in general, will be presented. During these two days, the thematic content of the next annual conference scheduled for 9 and 10 October will also be discussed, as well as the main projects being developed by the different EPTA members.
