The SARDINIA ACADEMY OF WASTE MANAGEMENT is an annual online training programme promoted by IWWG - International Waste Working Group.
The 1st edition has been held in 2021, from February to July, with a rich programme that included 25 webinars. On-demand recordings are still available to purchase by filling in the ONLINE FORM.
The 2023 edition will be announced soon.
The programme consists of weekly webinars devoted to a series of different WM topics, in which leading international experts share their first-class knowledge addressing topics of widespread interest. Read more about the lecturers of the Academy >
The courses are suited to both beginners and all those interested in furthering their knowledge of fundamental WM topics which will be extensively discussed during our Symposia (Sardinia, SUM, Venice). We decided to offer these training courses online - thus making them available to a broader audience - and months in advance, with the aim of encouraging an active and wider participation in the conference (such as presenting a paper, displaying a poster, presenting a research project, etc.).
Every webinar lasts 3 hours, including ample time for questions and discussion. The scheduled time refers to Central European Time.
