SUMMARY:Green Energy Expo and Romenvirotec 2026
DESCRIPTION:Click here for more information on the Green Energy Expo & Romenvirotec\n			\n				Click here for more information on FIM 2026\n			\n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Last year\, the event brought together entrepreneurs\, executives\, engineers\, specialists\, and representatives of local authorities—reflecting a highly technical B2B audience with a strong interest in innovative solutions for the green transition in Romania and Southeast Europe. With the support of the Romanian Environmental Association\, the 2026 edition marks the launch of a strategic collaboration between Romania and the Republic of Moldova. This initiative offers exhibitors extended access to a rapidly developing regional market\, fostering cross-border partnerships in energy\, waste\, and water management sectors.\nA central highlight of the expo is the Water Stage\, hosting a three-day in-depth conference: The International Environmental Forum 2026 (FIM 2026). The forum is organized by ARSMD (ISWA’s National Member in Romania) and provides a high-level professional platform focused on public environmental services\, circular economy implementation\, and European environmental policy. FIM 2026 is aimed at professionals directly or indirectly involved in the design\, implementation\, and operation of environmental public policies and services.

SUMMARY:European Robotics Forum 2026
DESCRIPTION:Click here for more information\n			\n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				AI and robotics are powerful tools to enhance the recovery and recycling of materials from waste. To explore their challenges and opportunities\, ISWA joined the consortia of the EU projects iBot4CRMs and RECLAIM\, focused on separating valuable materials from waste streams. As part of its dissemination activities\, iBot4CRMs will take part in the 2026 edition of the European Robotics Forum.\n \nThe European Robotics Forum (ERF) is the leading event for the European robotics and AI community\, and allow for the exploration cutting-edge technologies\, while fostering collaboration and addressing the latest challenges and trends shaping the future of robotics in Europe. \n \nNext year’s edition will be hosted by Norce\, the leading research institute coordinating the iBot4CRMs project\, in which ISWA is a key partner. Taking place in Stavanger\, Norway\, from March 23rd to 27th\, the event will feature multiple sessions\, talks\, poster presentations\, and workshops. One of the workshops will be focused on AI & Robotics for CRMs recovery and Urban Mining\, led by the iBot4CRMs project\, in collaboration with ISWA.\n \nThis event will be a unique opportunity to find out more about Industry 5.0 and AI in waste & resources management. Join us at the European Robotics Forum 2026 in Stavanger\, Norway. Early Bird registrations are open until January 30th\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Waste & Emissions Trading Conference: A Climate Policy Aligned with Circularity?
DESCRIPTION:Register here and view the full agenda\n			\n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				As the EU moves forward with its climate and circular economy ambitions\, the inclusion of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) raises crucial questions about coherence\, feasibility\, and environmental effectiveness.\nThe event aims to provide a platform for dialogue among stakeholders on how to balance decarbonisation objectives with sustainable waste management and energy recovery. Participants from European institutions\, EU member states\, industry\, and civil society will be invited to assess whether the EU ETS provides the right framework for Waste-to-Energy\, and to explore what complementary policy approaches are needed to ensure effective progress toward Europe’s climate and circularity goals.\nTogether\, participants will help to address one of the most pressing policy questions for the waste and energy sectors: How can Europe design the right climate tools for Waste-to-Energy?\nThis is an in-person event organised by CEWEP Confederation of Waste-to-Energy Plants) & ESWET (European Waste-to-Energy Technology Suppliers).
