Upcoming Partner Conferences (2)

Trieste, Italy
The II International Conference on Challenges and Perspectives in Urban Water Management Systems aims to highlight the latest innovations in urban water systems. This year, the conference is being co-organized by the CSDU and CSSI associations, together with the Università degli Studi di Trieste (UniTS), and it will be held from November 17th to 20th, 2025, in Trieste, Italy.
Following the success of the “International Short Course on Urban Drainage Systems” (18th edition) and “Giornata di Studio sul Drenaggio Urbano Sostenibile” (11th edition), the organization of a larger and more comprehensive event was proposed. It seeks to garner more participants from all over the world and cover a wide range of topics on water works, hydrology and hydraulics. This international conference is in its second edition and is part of the CSDU-CSSI DAYS 25, which provides training and outreach initiatives. It offers various opportunities for its participants, such as the following:
