The Scottish branch organises a wide range of lively meetings on key water and environmental subjects including the use of the latest technology and ideas. Site visits provide unique opportunities for us to see modern environmental management techniques and state-of-the-art plant in use.

We cover the whole of Scotland and, since different political, regulatory and public authority arrangements from other branches and regions apply, we have a central role in shaping environmental developments in Scotland.

We provide a forum for professionals to network, disseminate information and meet other professionals within the sector. We actively help develop new members in industry, higher education and the wider community by providing a support and mentoring network to develop their careers and skills.

Thanks to sponsorship from regional employers, we aim for there to be no charge for the evening technical meetings. Most technical visits are free of charge for members although we charge for two events or workshops in most years. We normally arrange one major symposium every two years, a range of smaller workshops on topical issues, a poster competition, and a social event in the spring. We are developing our regions within Scotland to make events more accessible to the entire membership and we will be trialing webinars throughout our programmed year. 2019 will see the introduction of a two day event showcasing some of the innovative work that is ongoing in our ever evolving profession; the location will change each time we run one of these signature events. Our annual dinner is now to be held in the Autumn to celebrate the drawing in of the winter nights.

We maintain good relationships with other professional bodies in Scotland and welcome all to our meetings. We also reach out to Scottish universities and raise awareness of CIWEM with students and graduates.
