What is the goal of the lecture series?
The lecture series has the objective to engage the audience in different water governance theoretical perspectives and allow a deep dive with renowned scholars and water professionals. NEWAVE aims to enhance the global capacity to reflect critically on current water governance trajectories due to rising threats to future water crisis and hydro-social challenges. Therefore, the lectures will bring together a network of water governance organisations, scholars and practitioners working towards the development and implementation of cutting-edge actionable research agendas, and train the new generation of researchers.
