International Society for Sanitation Studies
Annual Conference 2023
Information
- Extend Abstract Submission Deadline: November 7 (Tue)
Sanitation refers to a system that hygienically separates humans from harmful excreta and promotes its safe treatment and disposal. The significance of addressing sanitation is articulated in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6 which states that we should “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.” We have less than 10 years to reach this 2030 goal, and it seems quite doubtful that we will.
With this in mind, the International Society for Sanitation Studies (ISSS) was launched in April 2022. ISSS aims to bring a broad range of stakeholders together to tackle global sanitation through a truly inter- and trans-disciplinary approach recognizing that sanitation must be viewed through the nexus of Health, Materials and Socio-culture.
We, therefore, welcome you to the ISSS Annual Conference 2023.
