MOROCCO: Ifrane will host a symposium on water and waste in February 2020

The dates of the 7th edition of the International Symposium on Water, Recycling and Waste Recovery (ERVD’ 7) are now known. The event will be held from the 28th to the 29th of February 2020 at Al Akhawayn University, located in Ifrane, a city located in the mountains of the Middle Atlas in Morocco. This symposium is a time for reflection on the policies to be implemented to promote investment opportunities in the water, recycling and waste recovery sector. It will also allow participants to discuss the latest innovations proposed in the sectors concerned and to raise awareness among decision makers and economic operators in the country of the importance of recycling.

In addition, researchers will take this opportunity to explore the possibilities of partnerships between laboratories and the research groups to which they belong, in order to carry out more effective research on the main themes of the symposium (water, recycling and waste recovery.) The symposium is organised by the Sustainable Development Task Force (SDTF), in partnership with the host university. For this edition, researchers from about 25 countries are expected.

The very first edition of the ERVD was held at the Faculty of Medicine and Fez in 2012. Last year, the private university of Fez hosted this conference. A host of topics were on the agenda, including waste recycling and recovery, water, technology (water) and climate.
