ABOUT ISTANBUL3WCONGRESS 2013
Istanbul3Wcongress is an international event, and a significant share of participants is expected to come from the surrounding region, primarily Türkiye, the Balkans, the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa and Europe. The congress will bring together lawmakers, academics, local government representatives, representatives of the environment and water ministries of the region's countries and their affiliated organizations, researchers, non-governmental organizations, environmental sector companies and operators of environmental facilities. Our main goal at Istanbul3Wcongress is to develop the sustainable solutions needed in the medium and long term, taking into account the characteristics of the surrounding region and the main problems faced there. By attending this scientific program, which offers a balance of theoretical and practical knowledge, participants will learn about current scientific approaches, meet representatives of institutions and organizations seeking solutions to similar problems, benefit from each other's experience and gain new perspectives.
EXHIBITION AND TECHNICAL TOURS
Also including a trade exhibition, Istanbul3Wcongress will bring together private sector organizations working to implement the latest solutions with representatives of central and local governments.
