Join leading academic researchers, scientists and engineers from desalination and associated industries as well as representatives of government organisations, international agencies and aid organisations to discuss the latest developments in desalination using membranes and other technologies.
The program will include invited plenary lectures, contributed talks and poster sessions highlighting the latest theoretical and applied research, technological and industrial development. Awards will be given to the best oral and poster contribution from student and early career researcher presenters.
Growing population, changing climate and increasing urbanisation require increasing freshwater supply and the sustainable water usage for industries and agriculture is of top priority. One of the most viable solutions is to tap from saline waters and wastewaters. Membrane technologies have been established as the gold standard for desalination to address the global deficit for clean water. However, other technologies are competitive in terms of performance, cost, and impacts.
Innovation is key to reduce the energy consumption and ensure removal of emerging contaminants. This can be achieved through new membranes and materials, robust module and process design, as well as system improvements. We are interested in laboratory results as well as innovations from full-scale facilities. 7th International Conference on Desalination Science and Technology 2025 (DESAL 2025) is the dedicated forum to disseminate cutting-edge research and development in this regard.
