Water Summit for Global Development 2022
Catching Up with Urbanisation
15 March 2022 | 9:00-17:00 | TU Delft Aula
The aim of Water Summit for Global Development 2022 is to promote water research that contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). "We believe in implementation, testing our ideas in the field and that low resources should not necessarily mean low tech. We believe that all of this can only be done together, and thus we focus on building and fostering strong interdisciplinary relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders."
