After years of dedicated research within the EU’s Horizon 2020 framework, the iWAYS project will present its groundbreaking results at its Final Conference on July 28, 2025. The event will be held at the Hamilton Conference Centre at Brunel University of London as a key part of the prestigious SEEP Conference.
The EU-funded iWAYS project was launched to address critical resource challenges in energy-intensive industries. It has successfully developed a suite of advanced technologies and integrated systems designed to recover water, heat, and, in some cases, valuable materials directly from industrial exhaust streams. The core aim of these innovations is to significantly reduce resource consumption, increase energy efficiency, and advance industrial circularity.
The final conference will convene a powerful assembly of stakeholders, bringing together leading voices from the iWAYS research consortium, high-level representatives from industry bodies like A.SPIRE, and experts from across the European process industry.
Attendees will gain critical insights into:
-
Major Technological Achievements: A showcase of the practical, field-tested solutions developed for enhanced resource efficiency.
-
Pathways to Market: In-depth discussions on strategies for policy alignment, investment readiness, and commercial exploitation.
-
The Future of Industrial Circularity: A look ahead at the next wave of EU-funded research and innovation projects that will continue this vital work.
The event will feature prominent keynotes from two esteemed Water Europe Ambassadors: Geoff Townsend (Ecolab) and Alain Mestat (H2oVortex Sarl). Furthermore, the conference will provide a platform to introduce follow-up initiatives, including the Horizon Europe project RESURGENCE, which will build upon the legacy of iWAYS.
This conference is a must-attend event for professionals in research, industry, and policy who are dedicated to creating a more sustainable and competitive European industrial landscape. Learn more about the final conference here.
