The International Maji Scientific Conference is a water-sector research and knowledge-sharing event organised by Tanzania’s Water Institute. It brings together practitioners, researchers and other participants to present and discuss research, operational practices and experience related to water and sanitation. The conference aims to support the development of the sector and contribute to the United Nations’ 2030 goal of safe water and sanitation for all.

The 2025 conference focuses on how water and sanitation services can meet people’s needs in line with policy, while giving researchers an opportunity to address current challenges and identify areas for further study. Abstracts are invited in line with the conference focus and its contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 6. The event also features keynote speakers, presentations and opportunities for engagement, with conference materials, evaluation forms and photos made available through its website. Visitors can find registration information, announcements, news and details for sponsors and partners. Through these activities, the conference supports dialogue between research and practice across the water sector.
