1st WIRC Water Science and
Engineering Conference
13-14 July, 2016, University of Bath, Bath, UK
The Water Innovation and Research Centre: WIRC@Bath provides a unique environment to engage globally in collaborative research on water science, engineering, policy and resource management. WIRC@Bath brings virtually all of
the water related research at the University of Bath under one umbrella, and can provide expertise and knowledge
to deliver multi-disciplinary solutions to future water challenges. WIRC@Bath was founded as a collaboration with
Wessex Water, and is now looking to broaden and develop relationships with other partners.
We are delighted to invite you to this two-day conference to mark the launch of WIRC@Bath, feature internationally
renowned speakers, and showcase our research capabilities. In addition to the technical sessions we have allowed
plenty of time to network & discuss research around the poster sessions, as well as during the Conference Dinner.
