IDEAS 2024
“The International Conference on Desalination, Environment And Sustainability”
January 22-23, 2024
Abu Dhabi
On behalf of NYUAD Water Research Center and both the organizing and scientific committees, we are delighted to welcome delegates from all over the world to Abu Dhabi for the The International Conference on Desalination Environment And Sustainability, IDEAS 2024. This forum is dedicated to recent developments in membrane desalination, water treatment and re-use, environmental sustainability and related technologies.
Considered a water-stressed region, the UAE is rapidly changing its position from a water-scarce nation to world leader in water treatment and desalination. Today, the UAE finds itself at the forefront of innovative water solutions as it tackles dwindling natural water reserves and ever-increasing urban development. As part of addressing the water challenge, the UAE has diversified its water resources and has also built the world’s largest desalination plant.
The technological, economic and environmental impacts of desalination continue to pose a threat to the integrity of the environmentally extreme Arabian Gulf. A themed session on the environment will allow attendees to better understand the interaction of climate change, technological development and environmental stressors.
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in two full days of vigorous discussions between delegates from academia, industry and government organizations in a city known for its gracious hospitality and diversity.
We look forward to your participating in IDEAS 2024,
Chairman of IDEAS 2024
