Proactive Courses in International Water Management at World Water Week 2010
The global water crisis is reshaped periodically by changes in climate, geopolitics, demography and economics, amongst others. At the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) we recognise the importance of staying up to date with these changes, and work provocatively to reduce and prevent the negative impacts of development on social, economic and ecological systems.
Our capacity building consortium, SIWI and Ramboll AB, is banking on our trust capital, global expertise and state-of-the-art training tools to offer participants at the World Water Week in Stockholm 2010 a set of unique courses on international water management.
You can apply to join these courses by ticking the relevant box in your World Water Week registration form (the registration will open early May). The courses are open to all participants, with the expectation that they can share their own experiences in water and environmental management. Kindly, note that there are a limited number of seats available. If you wish to book your place as early as possible, do not hesitate to write to us. Kindly note that registration for these courses can only be accessed when you register for the World Water Week.
