Request for Proposals: Water Institute-Sponsored Workshop/Symposium

Tuesday, October 15, 2013
As part of the Water Institute's primary objective of supporting interdisciplinary water research and education, the WI is pleased to offer financial assistance for the development of interdisciplinary water workshops or small symposia that support this objective. Two workshops or symposia, to occur during the Winter, Spring or Fall 2014 terms, will be provided with up to $15,000 each from this request for proposals. The interdisciplinary workshops or symposia should: 
  • catalyze new initiatives and collaborations;
  • facilitate interdisciplinary research or teaching, and the formation of multidisciplinary research or teaching teams; 
  • support the development of university and external (e.g., government, private sector, NGO) partnerships;
  • enhance knowledge and the capacity to address emerging water management themes or issues; 
  • encourage continued collaboration (e.g., development of a formal research proposal or innovative teaching/outreach program).
Proposals are due November 22, 2013. Complete details are contained in the call for proposals document.
