A major challenge facing humanity today is how to guarantee safe drinking water and environmental sanitation for everyone in the planet. Innovative solutions through appropriate technology bring hope that this challenge will be met in the near future.

Water and energy are among the world’s pre-eminent development challenges. We need to coordinate political governance, adopt coherent and integrated policies and develop innovative strategies to tackle these issues.

By 2040, 40% of the population will be living in an area with water stress or water shortage. We’ll need the co-operation between the private and public sectors because technology is going to be a key element of the solution.

I learned what other scientists are doing in my research field by attending their presentations and found the feedback from world-class experts very helpful for my future research. I was also given the opportunity to express my hopes of future collaborations with them.
