Welcome to NORDIWA 2021

28 September - 1 October | Digital conference & exhibition


We look forward to welcoming all of you to the online format of the Nordic Wastewater Conference 2021. The interest among practitioners, experts and researchers to present and share their latest results, knowledge and experiences, has this pandemic year just been overwhelming. Among all the abstracts we accepted 200 exciting presentations and five workshops. The eagerness to share with others has never been so obvious.

The Nordic Wastewater Conference is now being arranged for the seventeenth time. While longing to meet physically again - we hope to maintain NORDIWA 2021 as a venue for exchanging practical knowledge and the latest information, where participants have the opportunity to network and learn from each other’s experiences and practices.

Good news for those who do not have enough split vision to watch five parallel tracks simultaneously - all presentations will be recorded and available to also watch during October and November for participants at NORDIWA 2021.
