The network of “the governance of transboundary waters to meet the water crisis and global climate change” is the response to the need to strengthen ground research on transboundary water management. The network organises a series of seminars and workshops and develops research proposals on the transboundary water governance.
Since 2010, SIWI and the partner organisations, Uppsala University and Gothenburg University, have organized seminars and workshops covering various topics such as the transboundary water cooperation, climate change, water security and international water law. As results, the network has generated new knowledge in the governance of transboundary waters by publishing academic papers, books and reports, and the researchers within the network have initiated new research projects on the transboundary water management. SIWI has contributed to generate new knowledge in transboundary water management and to provide the platform for the partners to connect.
