IWA Resource Recovery Conference 2025

The 6th edition of the IWA Resource Recovery Conference will be hosted in Leeuwarden (the Netherlands), the capital of water technology! The event is organized by Wetsus, in collaboration with Delft University of Technology and Wageningen University and Research.

The conference aims to showcase and celebrate the experiences, lessons and results of more than 15 years of experimenting and upscaling of resource recovery around the world. Resource recovery is a very inspiring topic but has not been an easy journey and many lessons have been learned in both upscaling novel technologies and developing new markets. The organisers' ambition is to make this conference a meeting point between academia and industry to ensure that research and industry can learn and inspire each other, thus working towards scaled-up and impactful solutions. The conference also puts in the spotlight the future water leaders, the Young Water Professionals, and strengthens the link with policymakers to ensure that the potential of resource recovery is stimulated rather than hindered by legal frameworks. Shaping the future and improving our current practices can only be achieved by collaborative work. This event is the perfect opportunity to do so, via inspiring discussion and meaningful connections.

The VIVALDI project will be represented by the partner Leitat, which will present the project's result on "Multifunctional Bioelectrochemical System for: Wastewater Treatment, Nutrient Recovery, and Hydrogen Production".
