On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 8th International Conference on Environmental Applications of Advanced Oxidation Processes (EAAOP-8), which will take place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 31st March 2027 – 2nd April 2027.

about

The conference is organised by Khalifa University and stands as a relevant event and network opportunity for sharing knowledge and expertise among scientists, academia, environmental professionals and industry, policymakers and other relevant stakeholders, in recent high impact investigations and technological developments on environmental applications of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and related areas.

Scientific and technological progress of AOPs in air, water, wastewater and soil treatment, as well as valorisation and recovery of aqueous matrices, biomass and wastes, are welcome.

In a constantly evolving regulatory context, AOPs are expected to play an increasingly important role in successfully addressing new environmental challenges. Therefore, we are sure that the EAAOP-8 conference will be an important opportunity to demonstrate how AOPs can significantly contribute to this aim, as well as of discussion among all the stakeholders.

The conference will be followed by the International PhD School of Advanced Oxidation Processes taking place on 5th-6th April 2027

Looking forward to meeting you in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi skyline

About Abu Dhabi

The name Abu Dhabi means ‘Land of the Gazelle’ in Arabic. The story goes that the emirate was founded when a young antelope led a wandering tribe to fresh water on an island with no more than 300 Barasti (palm frond) huts, a few coral buildings and the Ruler’s fort.

That modest island settlement has since been transformed into the modern, cosmopolitan, high-rise UAE capital city.

The gorgeous archipelago offers a mix of ancient history, rich culture and heritage, stunning nature, beautiful beaches, high-end luxury, surprising wildlife, family-friendly adventure, world-class shopping, renowned golf courses and a welcoming atmosphere.
