Welcome from the webinar Chair:

Dear colleagues,

Welcome to this opportunity to approach recreational waters from different points of view: chemistry, microbiology, physics, engineering, health promotion, prevention or epidemiology.

The Special Issue entitled “Advances in Swimming Pool Hygiene Safety and Spa Research” is available to read at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/water/special_issues/4HK14ALQDC and is currently open for submissions.

In particular, the main focus will be on technical and scientific issues applied to “waters for playing” such as swimming pools, SPAs, aquatic parks, and free waters for sport and physical activities.

The general topic addresses recreational waters and public health issues in a one-health perspective, anticipating the XI ICSPS, International Conference on Swimming Pools and SPA, that will be held in Athens in October 2025. The main subtopics include i) biological risks and emerging pathogens (e.g., Legionella, Protozoa, Microbiota); ii) chemical issues and advancements in monitoring (e.g., dbps, nir, cec); and iii) transversal risks (drowning, physical risks).

The Q&A session will involve contributions from researchers from different countries and speakers at XI ICSPS.

We are looking forward to meeting on the 8th of September at this Water webinar.

Date: 8 September 2025
Time: 4:00 p.m. CEST | 10:00 a.m. EDT | 10:00 p.m. CST (Asia)

The “VII Water Congress: Landscape, heritage and environment”, which will celebrate its seventh edition in 2025, is a forum for high-level scientific dissemination aimed at fostering collaboration in water resources management: planning, assessment of impacts, and socioeconomic analysis.

This edition is organized by the University of Alicante, in collaboration with Diputación de Alicante, Spain, and will be held from 12th to 13th September 2025 in Elche, Spain.

Water, in connection with landscape conservation, the protection of cultural heritage, and the environment, must be analyzed from different perspectives due to the complexity involved in integrated water resources management, addressing complex challenges that require multidisciplinary and collaborative approaches. Although there exist numerous studies addressing each of these elements separately, there are few studies that comprehensively analyze the relationship between water, landscape, and heritage. The conference will therefore facilitate the generation of new knowledge, the identification of best practices, and the establishment of collaborative networks between researchers, managers, and stakeholders. It will serve as a meeting place for experts from various disciplines, representatives of public and private institutions, and civil society organizations to exchange experiences, knowledge, and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities posed by the integrated management of water, landscape, and heritage.

We are pleased to announce that MDPI will be participating as an exhibitor in the 11th IWA Membrane Technology Conference & Exhibition for Water and Wastewater Treatment and Reuse, organized by the International Water Association. It will be held from 13 to 18 September 2025 in Daegu, Republic of Korea. 

This conference aims to garner experts from around the world to share the latest advancements and innovations in membrane technology for water and wastewater treatment and reuse. It seeks to serve as a platform for the exchange of knowledge and collaboration, providing an opportunity for you to reconnect with old friends and colleagues, while making new acquaintances and expanding your research network. 

The following MDPI journals will be represented at the conference:

• Membranes;
• Water;
• Clean Technol.;
• Limnological Review;
• Sustainability;
• Separations. 

If you are attending this conference, please feel free to begin an online conversation with us. Our delegates look forward to meeting you in person at the booth and answering any questions you may have.

This edition of the conference, which will have the headline Empower Sustainability, will be organized by “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi, Romania, in collaboration with Universita Politecnica delle Marche, Italy.

As with past conferences, ICEEM13 will continue to serve as a multi- and transdisciplinary forum for high-level scientific dissemination, aimed at fostering internationalization, multidisciplinarity, and collaboration. In addition to traditional topics in environmental engineering and management, ICEEM13 will for the first time also include topics in chemical engineering. ICEEM13 invites members of academia, the research community, and industry, as well as societal representatives, to contribute according to the proposed themes and topics. Submissions are encouraged to showcase innovative, multidisciplinary, and cross-sectoral approaches to addressing environmental and sustainability challenges.
