 Membrane Technology is a leading edge technology and will become very soon becoming
the Best Available Technology for water and waste water treatment. Membranes are
to day involved at large scale in drinking water production, wastewater treatment
and reuse, desalination.The specialised group of Membrane Technology of IWA is happy to be involved in the regional conference organised at Moscow. This event will bring a unique opportunity to get the up-to date information on the scientific, technical and economic aspects of the subject with the participation of the main actors in the field and international experts. The evolution of membrane technology has been very fast during these last years: attending the Moscow conference will allow you to get the latest results. Looking forward to meeting you there, Roger BEN AIM Professor Emeritus at INSA Toulouse Chairman of the specialised group Membrane Technology of IWA  One of the main activities of the EMS is to support and promote education and dissemination of membrane science and technology as a whole. As such, the EMS supports events in various ways and it is a pleasure to endorse the IWA Regional Conference "Membrane Technologies in Water and Waste Water Treatment" to be held in Moscow 24 June 2008. Water is a fundamental and essential aspect of all communities where membrane technology is increasingly being applied to meet challenges related to production of potable water, treatment of wastewater and sustainable exploitation of our earth's water resources. This event gives the opportunity of exploring the developments of membrane technology in this important field. I am sure it will be an inspiration to meet colleagues and exchange news at the event.

Organisers hope that you will enjoy your stay in Moscow in summer, which is certainly the best season to visit this wonderful city. ECWATECH-2008 IWA Regional Conference on Membrane Technologies in Water and Waste Water Treatment will be held within the frameworks of ECWATECH-2008 - the leading water forum in Eastern Europe covering a wide range of equipment, services and topics on water conservation and protection, water supply, sewage treatment, etc. ECWATECH is the event comprising the exhibition and alongside congress, and this effective co-existence enables to carry out shows of technologies and discussions of urgent and important issues by professionals at congress sessions. ECWATECH-2006 exceeded the results of the previous edition of the forum by 48% and number of participants amounted to more than 650 exhibitors including 194 international from 29 countries, more than 10800 sq. m. of exhibition area, 9077 trade visitors and 1383 congress participants from 48 countries. In 2006 ECWATECH was audited by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry UFI. The fact that right after the forum of 2006 many participants started booking areas for ECWATECH-2008 ensures even more successful event and guarantees that it will go beyond the results of 2006.
