October 27-30, 2011
Shanghai, China
The working language of the conference is English. The aim of IWA Biofilm 2011 is to provide a forum for biofilm researchers in academia and industry to exchange ideas, to review recent advances and future needs in biofilm researches, to gather new insights into processes in biofilms and their applications in water and wastewater treatment. Particular emphasis will be placed on the following topics:
- Methods and tools to study biofilms
- EPS, Biofilm structure and activity
- Biofilm microbiology and ecology
- Mathematical models of biofilm processes
- Biofilm technologies in water and wastewater treatment
- Biofouling and biofilm control

The goal of Biofilm Reactor Technology 2010 is to provide forum for biofilm researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, to review recent advances in biofilm reactor technologies, and to assess the impact of biofilms on natural and engineered processes in water and wastewater treatment.
The topics of this conference are biofilm reactor technologies and other technical systems that are influenced by biofilms. The conference will focus on:
- Linking practical application with basic sciences
- Enhancing communication between practitioners and researchers
- Fostering and integrating activities by and for young water professionals

The course will be conducted at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom
The course will run from June 13-18, 2010
Qouted from the website:
We are once again delighted to offer a hands-on course in modelling of microbial systems. In one stimulating week, this workshop will get you into individual-based modelling of microbial interactions with our newly developed software tool iDynoMiCS (individual-based Dynamics of Microbial Communities Simulator). In particular, you will get an in depth understanding of mathematical modelling of biofilms and other spatially structured microbial systems.
The course is intended for all students and researchers who have started to, or are considering to use, individual-based modelling for microbial systems. By the end of the course, participants will be able to independently use iDynoMiCS and apply it to their own work. The course will consist of a mix of core and guest lectures, tutorials, and a mini-project.
After running this course twice at the Danish Technical University in Lyngby, Copenhagen, with great success, the course will be held at the University of Birmingham in the UK in 2010.
Candidates from the fields of environmental science, microbiology, ecology, computer science, applied mathematics, engineering, and physics are encouraged to apply. Send (i) a brief statement of research interest and level of experience in modelling/programming, (ii) a brief CV, and (iii) a letter of support from your main advisor. allocated on a first come, first served basis.
