Presentations

---

The conference, hosted by DCU at the Helix in Dublin, was a great success, with more than 130 registrations.

Delegates heard about global water challenges and opportunities, with first hand accounts of the situation in China, Brazil, Africa, Europe and Ireland. ATWARM fellows presented the results of their research projects - results that we would hope will lead to development of real innovations for future water resource management. The benefits of industry-university collaborative research were presented, as well as future funding opportunities for the environmental field.

Our sincere thanks to all speakers for their contributions. Presentations are available at the links below.
