You can participate in the YWP Spain Conference with oral presentations, micro-lectures and posters.

The initiative is organised in a large number of countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia and Mexico. In the case of the Spanish network, it was created in 2015, promoted by and with the support of the Spanish Water Supply and Sanitation (AEAS), a member of IWA, with the aim of professional development, recognition and visibility of young professionals in the water sector.
