International Multidisciplinary Conference on

Pharmaceuticals in the Water Environment

Waste water treatment, surface - and groundwater, drinking water production, effect on ecosystems

Last updated: February 27, 2017

To our regret we have to inform you that – after ample consideration – we have decided not to proceed with preparation of the PharmWat2017 conference.

A major reason why PharmWat2017 will not be held is that the abstracts we received in an unbalanced way represent the conference themes S through F. We especially received too few abstracts for the themes A and D:

Theme A: REMOVAL OF PHARMACEUTICALS IN WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS,

Theme D: PHARMACEUTICALS IN DRINKING WATER PRODUCTION.

Theoretically, we could have put together a meeting with the received abstracts but such meeting would not fully represent the scope of the conference as we intended it to be, as an interdisciplinary event with balanced representation of themes S through F. In the end, however, this would not yield a good-quality conference, a quality we were aiming at.

Our apology for this news of cancellation of PharmWat2017.
