We are delighted to welcome you in Chania. Chania is one of the most beautiful and historical cities in Greece, built on the prehistoric city of Kidonia. It is a stunning mixture of ancient Minoan, Byzantine, Venetian, Ottoman, traditional and modern architecture, offering a fascinating journey through the millennia. Chania is known for its rich history, the old town with its maze-like alleys, the beautiful Venetian mansions and harbour, the fountain and the churches, and its Lighthouse built in 1570.
The conference is organized by the Laboratory of Environmental Engineering and Management of the Technical University of Crete and gathers the latest developments in research and implementation of nature-based solutions and wetland systems for water pollution control, targeting also to accelerate the adoption of treatment wetlands in Greece and the wider Balkan and East Mediterranean region.
