1st International Conference on Desalination and Environment: Recent developments in non-reverse osmosis desalination and related technologies - ICODE 2011

On 29 October - 1 November, 2011, the cosmopolitan city of Abu Dhabi will host the First International Conference on Desalination and Environment: Recent Developments in Non-Reverse Osmosis Desalination and Related Technologies: A Water Conference.

This conference represents a unique opportunity for academics and members of the desalination industry to meet with distinguished scientists from around the world and to discuss advances in the fields of desalination and water treatment.

It is hoped that this conference will foster new opportunities for scientific cooperation amongst national, regional and international institutes actively involved in desalination and water sciences research.
