Our webcasts - live and on demand - provide you and your organization with the opportunity to learn about new and ongoing research and to ask questions of top researchers and topic experts.
Webcasts are a great service provided to WRF subscribers. It's services like this that really help us justify the benefit of being a subscriber.
The webcast provided good information and advice for developing a One Water approach. Thank you to the presenters for sharing their time and knowledge.
Continuing Education & Professional Development
You may be eligible to receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and/or Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for viewing The Water Research Foundation webcasts. You are responsible for checking your state/province requirements to ensure that the webcast hours are accepted, as well as submitting the required information to your states/provinces. We can only provide a certificate for viewing an on demand webcast within 12 months of the live webcast broadcast date.
- When the webcast is complete, a certificate of completion will be automatically generated.
- Contact your state/province licensing agency to verify that CEUs/PDHs will be awarded for the webcast and any other materials are required. Certification contacts are listed on the Water Professionals International.
