The IIASA fairSTREAM project aims develop and demonstrate a co-production methodology for including fairness in developing sustainable policy options at the intersection of issues related to food, water, and biodiversity. Join us for this open-house project meeting to share progress on the project objectives since its launch in 2021 and take part in the discussion.

Colleagues from IIASA Water Security Research Group (WAT) host a special workshop with design students, to foster conversation between designers and scientists.

IIASA Water Security Research Group (WAT) colleagues led two training workshop sessions on water modeling in April. The sessions were hosted by the Grand Water Research Institute, in Haifa, Israel.  

World Water Day, held annually on 22 March, celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2 billion people living without access to safe water. A core focus of World Water Day is to inspire action towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.

IIASA Director General Albert van Jaarsveld has led a delegation to Jordan to consolidate collaboration with the country's scientific leaders and research communities.

IIASA is participating in the Science Advice for Policy by European Academies (SAPEA) conference Science Advice Under Pressure in Brussels. This participation includes eminent speakers from the IIASA network as well as a policy simulation that explores international negotiations through an immersive role-play experience highlighting the roles of science advice. 

The IIASA Water Security Research Group will co-convene a session at Stockholm International Water Institute World Water Week 2021 as a partner of the Groundwater Solutions Initiative for Policy and Practice.

IIASA is co-organizing a policy simulation at a satellite event of the INGSA2021 conference in Montreal. This event will provide participants with an opportunity to explore international science diplomacy through an immersive role-play experience and a virtual simulation proposed by the Centre for Systems Solutions (CRS).

Scientists from the IIASA Water Security (WAT) Research Group will conduct a water resource management model-training workshop for experts from Southeast Asian countries, supported by the Economy & Environment Partnership for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA).

WAT Research Group colleagues are invited to speak and participate in panel discussions in a special session titled, "Taking the pulse – A Water Security Diagnostics for the Danube Region."

This workshop will feature keynotes by Prof Sebastian Galiani and Prof Meera Mehta, and include a diversity of presentations on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) related to urban planning

This kick-off event serves to introduce the Strategic Initiatives project FairSTREAM to IIASA colleagues and associates, as well as to start the conversation on one concrete topic at the heart of FairSTREAM work: stakeholder engagement and knowledge co-production at IIASA. The project is an in-house collaboration by the Equity and Justice (EQU), Water Security (WAT), and Biodiversity, Ecology, & Conservation (BEC) IIASA Research Groups to advance trans-disciplinary research and upscaling via agent-based modelling at the food-water-biodiversity nexus.

Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Pretoria, Tawana Kupe, visited IIASA on 29 January 2020.
