Conference date: 16-20 June 2025
Venue: Liège, Belgium
Prof Frederic Coulon, co-Lead of EBNet’s Pollutants & Media theme and Chair of AquaConSoil 2025, has taken part in the pre-conference press event to outline the scope and ambitions of the conference, which will take place in Liège from 16-20 June 2025. AquaConSoil is one of Europe’s largest and most influential conferences on the sustainable management of soil, water, and sediment.
The press event involved interviews with three leading environmental and science journals, and received highly positive feedback. Journalists were impressed by the scale and impact of the conference, recognising its unique role as a European platform bringing together academia, industry, service providers, and local and regional authorities. Prof Coulon highlighted the significance of the event for both the Wallonia region and the broader international community:
“AquaConSoil 2025 will not only showcase cutting-edge research and practice in sustainable land and water management in Europe and beyond, but it will also showcase Wallonia as a living laboratory for nature-based solutions and innovation. As Co-Director of EBNet, I see this as an important opportunity to advance global dialogue between science, policy, and practice, especially in the field of environmental biotechnologies”
Key discussions addressed the relevance of the conference themes to the Wallonia region, including the importance of nature-based solutions (NbS), sustainable approaches, risk management, and public perception. With over 400 delegates expected from more than 50 countries, the event promises to be a vibrant and globally relevant gathering.
