Call for applications of the TWAS Science Diplomacy Workshop on Sustainable Water Management

[Science Diplomacy]

TWAS is inviting young scientists from the developing world, as well as 
policymakers and diplomats with a science portfolio, to apply to attend 
a TWAS Science Diplomacy workshop on Sustainable Water Management to be 
held in Trieste from 30 November to 4 December.

The workshop will expose participants to some key contemporary 
international policy issues relating to science diplomacy and 
sustainable water management, including the use of shared rivers and 
underground aquifers, cross-border pollution issues, safe drinking 
water, etc.
Keynote presentations will set the scene and allow participants to 
develop their own projects in breakout groups. A visit to a local water 
purification plant is also being planned.

application form and guidelines:
