The International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA) requests abstracts for both oral and poster presentations for the 2023 IUVA World Congress taking place September 10-13, 2023, at the InterContinental Dubai – Festival City in Dubai, UAE.

As new challenges continue to arise in air and surface disinfection applications, fighting infectious diseases like COVID-19, drinking water, reuse water and wastewater treatment, air pollution, hospital infections, ballast water treatment and industrial effluents, new applications emerge for UV technologies. The focus of this conference is to present the most recent advancements in technology and research addressing the environmental, health, and treatment process challenges of today, as well as to discuss the current trends in UV regulations and new applications.
