The EDS Conference awarded the best poster to Dr. Graciela Gonzalez Gil for her poster entitled "The microbial growth potential of antiscalants used in seawater desalination." Miriam Balaban, a legend of the global desalination community, handed the award.

In her presentation, Dr. Gonzalez Gil explained why certain antiscalants could promote bacterial growth in seawater. "The poster contained scientific information which is relevant to practice. Also, we departed from the conventional posters formats, and attendees received the innovative design well," Dr. Gonzalez Gil explained.

The conference took place from May 22 to May 25, 2023, in Limassol, Cyprus, with the attendance of over 320 delegates and 30 renowned international companies. Participants from academia, industry, and government entities had the opportunity to share cutting-edge advancements in desalination technology, exploring its cost, breadth of application, and associated socio-economic and environmental implications.
