Ms Safaa Chaabane from the Tunis International Center of Environmental Technologies (CITET) successfully presented the AQUACYCLE project at the 3rd Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (EMCEI) which took place in Tunisia from June 10 to 13, 2021. The event gathered influential scholars and top scientists from all over the world.

Her paper "Towards Sustainable Wastewater Treatment and Reuse (WWTR) in the Mediterranean Region - AQUACYCLE Project: APOC System as an eco-innovative technology for WWTR of Bent Saidane rural locality - NE Tunisia" was presented as a recorded online presentation in the first section of the conference entitled 'Engineering applications for environmental management'.

The EMCEI Conference is one of the largest international environmental science meetings organized by the Association for Computer Science Applied to Management in collaboration with Springer. It aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their findings and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of environmental science. More than 810 abstracts were received from 72 different countries worldwide.
