Have you ever wondered how the research developed within academic institutions influences decision-making? When it comes to water, there are many examples of how university-based research and discovery can be applied to help water managers make science-based decisions within their respective organizations.
The Global Water Futures 2020 Knowledge Mobilization webinar series, Partner Voices: KM Stories and Skills for Successful Collaborations, presents: How governments and organizations use academic science, May 1st, from 2-3:00 pm EDT.
The editors of two leading international water economics journals, Water Resources and Economics and Water Economics and Policy, have joined forces to launch a new online seminar series named SWELL.
A dynamic discussion-style webinar featuring representatives from the government and non-profit sectors sharing stories about how they gather, analyze, utilize and communicate academic research to advance their organization’s mandate. Researchers will learn what they can do to make it easier to support the implementation of their research into policy, plans, and products.

Join us for an evening hosted by the University of Waterloo’s Water Institute and Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change (IC3). One hour, seven topics, seven speakers, with seven minutes each. Leading experts from both institutes will share their knowledge and ideas on how climate change can be addressed at the individual, community, and global levels.
