Conference Description
The Water Disinfection, Byproducts and Health GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The 2025 GRS session will focus on bringing together international multidisciplinary research to address the challenges of maintaining sustainable and safe drinking water for the world under multiple stressors (e.g., climate change, world population growth). This seminar targets a broad audience including chemists, toxicologists, engineers, epidemiologists, microbiologists, and policy experts. Topics include disinfection and oxidative water treatment in developed and developing countries, chemical analysis of treatment byproducts (e.g., identification of unknown contaminants, automation, real-time monitoring), toxicological and epidemiological assessment of byproducts, treatment paradigms/schemes for diverse water sources (e.g., water reuse, desalination) and their relevance for redefining oxidative water treatment.
The seminar also welcomes other relevant topics such as treatment of recreational water and other matrices. The 2025 GRS will feature a professional development panel discussion by international leading professionals in the water treatment sector from academia, government, and industry. The discussion aims at providing insights on effective practices in building a research program and being an effective leader.
