What Does It Take To Scale Up Rural Sanitation? - The Water Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) of Loughborough University, UK, in partnership with the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) of the World Bank, has recently developed a free self-paced online course that addresses the important global challenges facing the water and sanitation sector.

Schedule for 2013

WASHCost offers a free online course for WASH sector professionals. The “Costing Sustainable Services” online course was developed to assist governments, NGOs, donors, and individuals to plan and budget for sustainable and equitable WASH services, using a life-cycle cost approach.

20 years with wastewater treatment wetlands in Sweden!

The 20 year celebration takes place May 22-24 2013, in the form of a conference in Nynäshamn with speakers from Sweden, The Netherlands and Ireland, and a half day international scientific workshop as a side event. The program covers experiences from two decades of operating treatment wetlands after municipal wastewater treatment plants, the role of wetlands in holistic water management in Ireland, wetlands for biomass production in Trelleborg, and field visits to two of the oldest wetlands in Sweden – the wetlands in Nynäshamn and in Oxelösund. The conference program is designed to suit both technical staff and researchers interested in treatment wetlands

The Republic of Panama is organizing the Third Latin American Sanitation Conference on 29-31 May 2013. The theme is: “Universal Sanitation: New Challenges, New Opportunities”. Latinosan 2013 consists of two events: a technical conference and a meeting of senior officials that will result in the Declaration of Panama.

Developing Capacity from Rio to Reality – Who’s Taking the Lead The symposium will look at the innovative capacity development approaches required to respond to the new challenges countries face as each strives for green growth and 'blue sustainability'.

The WASH in Schools Distance-Learning Course was developed by Emory University and UNICEF as a cost-effective capacitybuilding initiative that reaches practitioners on the ground. This intensive web-based course will help participants identify areas of concern, advocate for improved WASH conditions, select appropriate behaviour change and technology approaches, and monitor programme outputs and outcomes.

To address the need for extending the reach of water integrity action, the Water Integrity Network (WIN), Water Governance Centre (WGC) and UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education joined forces to organise the 1st Water Integrity Forum in the Netherlands at UNESCO-IHE from 5 – 7 June 2013. The main objectives of the forum are to take stock of progress in addressing corruption issues in the water sector, to share knowledge, approaches and experiences, and to build alliances to address integrity challenges in the water sector.

9th International Conference on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development, Bucharest, Romania

The aim of the conference is to encourage and facilitate interdisciplinary communication between scientists, engineers, economists and professionals working in ecological systems and sustainable development. Emphasis is given to those areas that will benefit from the application of scientific methods for sustainable development, including the conservation of natural systems around the world. The conference objectives have evolved over the years, seeking to integrate thermodynamics, ecology and economics into ‘ecodynamics’. ECOSUD is a challenge for the creation of a new science in line with Prigogine’s statement that “at all levels we observe events associated with the emergence of novelties and narrative elements, which we may associate with the creative power of nature”.

This year's theme is Sanitation, Hygiene, Innovation, and Trends.

Delivering Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Services in an Uncertain Environment
