Welcome to Winter School
The Winter School event aims to present an overview of the current state of knowledge and the latest advances regarding the occurrence, impact, and elimination of Disinfection By-Products (DBPs), Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs), and microbial contamination to provide solutions face to risks in providing safe drinking water and alternative water sources for crops production.

WOW is a huge new cultural district where everyone is welcome. In the historic heart of Vila Nova de Gaia, on the south bank of the River Douro, overlooking the Ribeira of Porto (Porto’s Riverside) and the Luís I Bridge, just a short distance from the center of Porto, WOW pays homage to culture, history and Portugal’s main industries. The project started with the restoration of old port wine cellars and aims to convey the history and feeling associated with winemaking in its many forms.
The World of Wine is a complex that houses several experiences in the so-called Wine Quarter. It consists of 7 museums, 12 restaurants, bar and café spaces, a “wine school”, multiple shops, an exhibition hall, and an event space.
