Capacity: about 60 persons (Including invited speakers)


Objective:
In the Southeast Asian countries where continuous economic development is predicted, there are many water related-environmental problems (pollution of water environment, emission of green house gases) due to the lack of diffusion of appropriate wastewater treatment technologies. The National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan (NIES) has developed wastewater treatment technologies in cooperation with industrial, academic and governmental organizations in both domestic and international contexts (Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam etc.). To enable favourable conditions for technology development and commercialization, it is necessary to establish a technological research platform by means of international industry-academia-government collaboration. Establishment of this technological research platform aims at the promotion of practical use (or development) of these technologies in the Southeast Asian region. With this background, NIES will hold an international workshop on the development of sustainable wastewater treatment technology in order to share relevant knowledge and to elucidate the issues associated with future development.

Organizing Chairperson: Dr. Kazuaki Syutsubo, Head, Regional Environmental Systems Research Section, NIES

In order to clarify the direction of future research (and projects), we will conduct a questionnaire survey during this workshop. We would like to thank you for your cooperation in advance.
