The 34th SuSanA meeting was held on Saturday 24 August (10:00-16:00 CEST), prior to the Stockholm World Water Week. It was organised by the Secretariat with support and contributions from SuSanA partners, members, working groups, regional chapters and active members. The meeting was conducted in a hybrid format and provided opportunities for both online and face-to-face participants to network, share knowledge and exchange ideas on the thematic priorities identified at the last SuSanA meeting: (1) Sanitation & Climate, (2) Resource Recovery and (3) South-South Dialogue.
The 34th SuSanA meeting was a great success with over 80 participants online and in person! We would like to thank all our 31 speakers and moderators for their valuable contributions and for playing along with the expresso presentation concept! The result was a very dense but easily digestible one-day meeting with a lot of diverse input that kept everyone on their toes!
We hope that both online and face-to-face participants enjoyed the meeting as much as we enjoyed organising it. If you didn't get a chance to attend, or if you'd like to revisit some of the sessions, you'll find the agenda for the meeting below: with hyperlinks to the recordings of each session, so you can go straight to what you're interested in.
