Contributions are sought on fundamental studies, applied studies, and studies that bridge between fundamental and applied. Research reports on a range of aspects of biofilms in drinking water treatment, distribution, and quality are solicited. Examples of topics include:

• Biofilms in distribution systems and in-premise plumbing
• Biofilms as hosts for pathogenic organisms,
• Biofilm formation potential of materials and surfaces as a source of nutrition
• Biological stability of water and regrowth during water distribution and water storage
• Biofouling and biocorrosion
• Biological drinking water treatment
• Biofiltration
• Biofilms on membranes: Beneficial use (e.g. in gravity driven membrane filtration or membrane biofilm reactors) and biofouling
• Micropollutants in drinking water: Degradation and production during treatment and distribution
• Management and control of unwanted biofilms
