AIAT's main objective has always been the promotion of the role of the environmental engineer, a professional capable of tackling complex Environment-related issues in an integrated way.
Thus, many activities are carried out to raise the public awareness, such as the distribution of a quarterly newsletter to about 1000 external contacts (e.g. Universities, Public Administrations, Professionals, Companies etc.); the participation in many thematic exhibitions, conferences and congresses; the publication of articles and papers on relevant technical magazines.
Since 2003, AIAT is a member of EFAEP, with whom has recently developed ENEP - European Network of Environmental Professionals, a web portal collecting thousands of profiles of European environmental professionals.
A second objective of AIAT, but by no means lesser, is to foster the exchange of information among the members, about 700 and covering many fields of expertise: pollution remediation and soil protection, energy management, climate changes, waste management, environmental monitoring, Environmental Management Systems, transports planning and many more.
This is guaranteed, in the first place, by an extremely efficient mailing list, that also circulates more than 100 job offers per year.
Furthermore, AIAT website (www.ingegneriambientali.it), counting more than 9000 visits per month, publishes news on meetings, conferences, courses, job offers; useful documents such as legislative texts, presentations, papers, etc; a dedicated search engine, CercAmbiente, storing more than 400 thematic links.
AIAT is funded only by the fees paid by Ordinary and Supporting members, the latter consisting in about 30 engineering companies, research centres and Public Administrations, that in turn can recruit personnel with targeted researches and collaborate with AIAT in the organisation of thematic conferences, courses and exhibitions related to the Environmental Engineering.
