Are you interested to visit the AIWW2023 Conference and the Aquatech Amsterdam exhibition? Do you want to present your ideas for an international jury panel and audience? This is your chance! Wetskills Foundation and partners are organising the ninth Wetskills edition in The Netherlands overall!

Participation fee for international participants is € 475,- (excl. VAT). This participation fee includes accommodation. Participation fee for local applicants, who do not need accommodation arrangements, is € 125,- (VAT free).

The Participation fee (with or without accomodation) includes teambuilding activities, some lunches & dinners, field trips, workshop, supervision, trainings and working venues. Participants are responsible for their own travel expenses (plane tickets, local travel, etcetera), meals during working days and other personal costs.
