Applications Open | 10th International Training Workshop on Waste-to-Energy
How can developing countries accelerate the transition toward more sustainable, resource-efficient and low-carbon waste management systems?
One way is to learn directly from countries that have accumulated decades of experience and to connect that experience with local research, policy and implementation.
The 10th International Training Workshop on Waste-to-Energy will take place November 1–14, 2026, in Hangzhou, China, bringing together participants from developing countries for two weeks of intensive learning and international exchange.
The programme combines classroom learning with practical experience, including visits to state-of-the-art Waste-to-Energy plants, food-waste treatment facilities, research laboratories and innovation centers across the Hangzhou–Shanghai region.
Participation:
The workshop has no tuition fee. Organizers will cover accommodation, meals, local transportation and insurance in China. Participants are responsible for their international airfare.
Successful participants will receive an official certificate issued by China's Ministry of Science and Technology.
Who can apply?
Researchers, government officials, policymakers, engineers and industry professionals from developing countries who are actively working or conducting research in waste management, Waste-to-Energy, resource recovery, environmental protection or related fields.
Application deadline: September 10, 2026
