The European Ocean Days is a week-long event with a series of dynamic and interconnected sessions focused on key ocean-related themes, all designed to encourage participants to engage across topics and contribute to a shared vision for the prosperity, competitiveness, security and sustainability of our ocean. 

Inspired by the European Ocean Pact, the 3rd edition of the event will bring together industry leaders, startups, investors, policymakers, scientists, SMEs, representatives from fisheries and aquaculture, islands and coastal communities, the Mission Ocean and Waters community, and civil society, including youth voices. Participants will engage in consultations, panel discussions, workshops, and community events to exchange ideas, discuss upcoming challenges, scale up innovative solutions, and jointly pave the way for concrete actions supporting the implementation of the European Ocean Pact.

Stay tuned, registrations will open in December 2025.

The city of Delft welcomes the 2026 Nutrient Removal and Recovery (NRR) Conference, a flagship event of the International Water Association (IWA).

Home to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and the renowned Delft School of Microbiology, Delft has long been at the forefront of bio-inspired innovations in the global water sector. Building on almost 40 years of NRR conferences, NRR2026 offers a premier venue to explore the latest biotechnological advancements in (waste)water management. Special emphasis will be placed on the role of curiosity-driven research as the foundation for groundbreaking technological solutions.

NRR2026 will bring together key stakeholders — from international academics to industry leaders, practitioners, and policymakers. With strong engagement from universities, research institutes, industry, and governmental agencies, NRR2026 will be a pivotal moment in accelerating the transition from research to real-world impact, providing a roadmap for resilient, sustainable, and climate-proof cities.
