Objective of the Conference
The 1st Water Elixir Meet 2025 (WE Meet 2025) aims to bring leading scientists, researchers, engineers, and policymakers from around the world together to share their latest research, innovations, and insights on water-centric environmental issues, water sustainability and management. The conference will focus on addressing the critical challenges related to water resources including water scarcity, pollution, climate change impacts, and policies. Together, WE-Meet 2025 explore various dimensions of water resource exploration, water quality, biogeochemical cycling of waterbodies. We also discuss sustainable solutions for most pressing societal issues such as water scarcity and management using advancement in technological development such as membrane technology, desalination, and modern water treatment technologies to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDG). This conference will serve as a excellent platform for early career researchers, PhD students and post-doctoral researchers to gain new knowledge and share their novel ideas with peer groups as well as established and senior researchers. The SRM University-AP, Andhra Pradesh, India hosts the conference in association with National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan, Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), Japan.
The key objectives of WE Meet 2025
- To facilitate the exchange of new knowledge and ideas on innovative technologies and practices for water conservation and management.
- To foster collaborations and partnerships among academia, industry, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
- To discuss and develop actionable strategies for achieving sustainable water use and management at local, regional, and global scales.
- To provide a platform for young researchers and professionals to present their work and gain insights from established experts in the field.
The Conference is Open To
- Academia: Faculty members, scientists, researchers, and students from universities and research institutions interested in water treatment, separation science, engineering, hydrology, biogeochemistry, and related fields.
- Industry Professionals: Engineers, scientists, and professionals from water treatment companies, environmental consulting firms, and technology providers involved in water quality analysis, treatment, and resource management.
