Events ArchiveWithin the framework of the Spring Conference of the European Water Association (EWA) and under the patronage of Mr János Áder, President of the Hungarian Republic, organized by the Hungarian Water- and Sewage Technology Association (MaSzeSz) and the Budapest Waterworks (Fővárosi Vízművek Zrt.) a three-day event and professional visits take place during the ‘EWA Spring Days 2015 – Budapest Water Conference’.
Taking into consideration the conclusions of the 2013 Budapest Water Summit, the General Assembly of the UN approved independent sustainable development objectives within the water-sector for 2015-2030 in September 2014. With regard to the objectives special attention is paid to the most urgent issues of municipal water management, ranging from access to drinking water, through waste water treatment to flood protection. In addition, the new multi-annual financial framework of the EU started in 2014. This provides an excellent opportunity to evaluate the experiences and know-how gained from the thousands of water-related development projects, worth over 10 billion Euros, that have been completed during the 2007-2013 programming period as well as to look ahead at the plans for the 2014-2020 period.
The objective of the Budapest Water Conference 2015 is therefore to summarize the achievements of the recent period in the field of municipal water management, to discuss the timely challenges of the sector and to adopt recommendations for the planning period to come in the light of the new development goals. In tis context, the conference will specifically focus on the long term financial and technological sustainability of water services and infrastructure. In addition, special attention will be paid to support activities that are indispensable for high quality water services, such as engineering services, customer services, finance, education and training, administrative capacity.
The joint conference is designed to serve as an open and dynamic platform that enables participants to gain knowledge – through tried-and-tested solutions and practical examples presented by professionals from all around the world – on how experts handle the above challenges under similar or different circumstances.
The three day event will thus provide a timely opportunity for public and private sector decision-makers, water utility professionals, experts and other stakeholders from the developed and the developing world to exchange views and share experiences with leading international experts on the most pressing challenges and potential solutions in the field municipal water management.
During the entire programme a water industry expo will be open at the venue of the conference.
