The contributions made at the conference were diverse, reporting on research mainly in “Technology and Evaluation” and “Water Quality and Health”. The quality of the conference and ICRA’s contribution was extremely high, and in fact Nikoletta Tsiarta, an ICRA PhD student within the NOWELTIES Marie Curie project, was awarded the best poster presentation. In addition, ICRA participated in the organization of the event with a workshop on New Materials, co-chaired by Mira Petrovic (ICRA, ICREA) and Hrovje Kusic (U. Zagreb). Finally, Wolfgang Gernjak participated in the Young Water Professionals Workshop prior to the conference panel discussion, as well as introducing ICRA to an interested audience of over 100 enthusiastic young researchers.
