Hybrid workshop for Genetic Faecal Pollution Diagnostics: from science to practice@WaterMicro23 Darwin (June 4th, 2023)

The Global Water Pathogen Project and the Interuniversity Cooperation Centre Water & Health, Austria organizes a workshop during the upcoming 21^st Symposium on Health-Related Water Microbiology in Darwin, Australia, on 4^th June 2023. The workshop will also be streamed. The workshop will explore the application areas of genetic methods for faecal pollution detection in water. Participants will also be invited to discuss and develop a survey that will be later used to assess the acceptance of genetic methods by water utilities and government agencies worldwide. For more information, please visit the website of the workshop.

Also, you can download the program of this hybrid workshop from the following link: GeneticFecalPollutionDiagnosticsWorkshop@WaterMicro23.
