IWRA 1st Islands Water Congress

28 December 2023

The International Water Resources Association’s (IWRA) Islands Water Congress is a high-level global event organised in collaboration with a different island host every two years. For the first edition, IWRA has partnered with the Faroese Geological Survey (Jarðfeingi) and the event will be in Tórshavn from the 4 to 6 September 2024.

The theme of the first edition will be ‘Freshwater and Islands: Administration, Collaboration and Innovation’. The aim of this and subsequent congresses is to develop a body of learning that will boost freshwater opportunities and advance solutions to freshwater challenges in island contexts.

Water managers and technicians can connect with peers, learn about innovations, and gain insights into global water challenges. Private sector delegates can explore new business ventures and understand market trends. Policymakers can learn from best practice cases, and academics and researchers will find a platform to stay abreast of the latest research.
